#FunFact That in 1952, the USS Wisconsin received a single, direct-hit from a North Korean 155mm gun battery. Despite the damage being minimal, the Wisconsin responded by returning fire with all nine of her Mark 7 16-inch guns, prompting an escorting ship to signal the Wisconsin with "Temper, Temper."
"That hill fired upon us. Remove that hill."
@MrGoat The Far Electrician did a video on this, and it's hilarious.

The Armor Piercing (AP) shell fired by these guns is capable of penetrating nearly 30 feet (9 m) of concrete, depending upon the range and obliquity of impact.
