USS Arizona & USS Missouri Gun Barrels

[Jim B]

I saw this video on another forum of moving a 14"/45 caliber gun barrel from the USS Arizona (BB-39) & a 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 gun barrel from the USS Missouri (BB-63) to a new memorial in Phoenix, AZ.  It's a pretty cool heavy haul video.

Glad you liked it, guys.  I like how it was referred to as the "Bookend Memorial".

Clayton, if you can get pics of the new memorial, that would be great.
