	USS Iowa -- Turret Two (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		We find his statements difficult to believe because of the gunnery profi-ciency that the Iowa had attained by 1988, but we did determine that he was reluctant to allow civilians on board to conduct tests on powder or new projectiles.
		The official cause was attributed to an overpressure from the propellant being used in Turret II that caused a failure in the baseplate of the projectile in the gun barrel and caused the detonation of the explosive filler in the projectile cavity.
		There are few absolutely certain things in life, but the authors are convinced that, according to the evidence, the turrets on the Iowa and her sisters were safe and reliable as long as safety precautions were followed.

		This volumetric function is predicated upon a prism that is defined by the ship’s waterline length (L) and a base with a cross-section that is equal to the maximal cross-section coefficient of the vessel (CM).
		When measured in metric units, speed-length ratios usually ran from 1.6-3.0 during the 1900-1945 era, with most battleships tending to be at the lower end of the scale.
		The end result is measured in terms of total resistance per ton, and in conjunction with the speed-length ratio provides a means of examining the testing the claims made about engine outputs and speed.
