So recently I was reading G2-mil. Yes I know that it garners a lot of hate and that peopel do think the author is something of a loony.
Still, why no the 8 inch gun?
(Bit of Background)
The 8 inch gun (I do believe with an auto loader like the mk45) was tested on the USS Hull. The thing was called the MK 71 I think. The hull on the USS Hull was stressed I think so by all the firing so they stopped it. But the Arleigh and Ticonderogas are (or should be) a bit more sturdy right (and add a few upgrades to the gun)?
Also, I think the navy is trying to put up a 5 inch shell with extra range.
