We made history about a month ago by turning the inner projectile ring in Turret I. Today, we topped that feat.
For the first time since the IOWA's decommissioning in 1990 and for the first time since 1992, a turret on an Iowa Class battleship has been rotated.
This footage is just a tease of what we got. Stay tuned for more - including mind-blowing views from inside the turret that have never been seen on film before.
This evolution was the result of months of hard work and research by our team, as well as input from Iowa Class battleship veterans. We make it look easy, but it's most definitely not.
