I prefer tying them in front of the muzzle of a 32lb cannon, and firing it.


That would be carronade in Ironside's case. wink

I was a bit miffed they only fire 20mm rounds from a gun hidden inside the original carronades. They should move up to full 32-pounder broadsides, THAT will shut the whining bastards up! biggrin

My suggestion, bring in the USS Massachusettes down for a visit and let her rip off some 16 inch gunfire twice a day for about a week or two. Maybe give those losers some kind of perspective.


..I like the idea!
(it would be 'up' though as the USS Massachusetts is moored in Fall River, which is south of Boston)
I've visited both ships and it was truly an honor to stand on those hallowed decks.


Ok, Up.

Some 16inc/45 Cal fire should rattle the windows for them.
