| #9 There are reports from Admiral "ABC" Cunningham that you could indeed watch 15" down to about 6" (381 to 152mm, if you want to use the French measurement system). |

| #8 OP if the 175 in question is a howitzer you most certainly can see them.... Far as flat guns from battleships... for sure at night, but my Dad sez, its not so much seeing them as Visualizing them as a BoxCar flying overyour head at Mach 2. |

| #7 Missile in, artillery barrage out. Sounds like the Israelis are finally waking up again. A little fine tuning on the dead and wounded numbers from their big guns is all that's needed. |

| #6 Maybe they could run a couple tests to see if their nukes really work. As long as the wind is blowing from the west that day, no downside. |

| #5 My dad landed at Normandy four days after D-Day. He said you could see the battleship 16-inch shells flying overhead. I've heard a few people claim they could see the shells from 175MM cannon in flight, but I never believed it. I think the "artillery attack" and the work accident listed above are one and the same. You KNOW when HE starts re-arranging the landscape, especially anything bigger than 105mm. Israel SHOULD use heavy artillery on Gaza, but I don't think they have quite enough ammunition to turn it into a copy of the moon as it deserves. |
