A few video episodes while conducting maintaining, calibration fire and live fire exercises of the ship’s Mk 45 (Mod 2) 5-inch/62 caliber lightweight gun.
Development started in the 1960s as a replacement for the Mark 42 gun system. The gun is designed for use against surface ships, anti-aircraft and to support amphibious operations on the shore. The gun mount features an automatic loader with a capacity of 20 rounds.

The loader's mario tattoo is very nice 🙂
Ho Yaa Battle Dress
My Grandpa engineered this weapons system at BAE systems in MN
We need bigger gun
Iowa 16 inch 406mm
The thing about the "modern" guns…if you lose power…you're FUCKED…the old 5"/.38 guns that I was shooting, if power went out, you could still manually raise and lower hoist, load and fire gun by a foot feed or a battery. Those old guns helped win WW2
What do the us navy do with the spent brass do they just throw them over the side ? On my ship it used to be a scramble to the upperdeck after the gunnery stops to see who could steal the most shells

Wish they still had a battleship active. Love to hear the roar of those 16 inches go boom! This is underwhelming!
This system is wasteful and inefficient. The labor required to load the gun and collect empty shell casings post action should be updated to allow purely mechanical loading, monitored by a crew member. This is another example of the Armed Services in general finding the most difficult and labor intensive way to do anything and everything, while justifying it on the "Holy altar" of being cheap. And that's another thing. I can watch it shoot all week, and see absolutely NOTHING about how good the GUNNERY Really is for this antiquated popgun. At least with the old Bofors, you can SEE if you're bloody well on target! Why not put a rail gun mount in it's place, since the deck penetration has been done already anyway? It's maintaining old weapons and old thinking like that seen in this "weapon system" that will see the US Navy fall farther into a technological gap from which its opposition does not suffer.
… these guns are too small and comical compared to world war 2 battleship's 16inch guns 😂🤣😅😅
Imagine if you fish and you have picnic with your family then you see an explosion..
Why are we using 5-inch guns when we had 16-inch guns, on the battleship are these things that accurate, if the Tarrant gets hit and knocked out can we fix it and allow it to fire
"Pew; pew,pew…"
Some old underwhelmed battleship gunner somewhere. 😉
Fishing? 🤔
OMG that brass
WHERE ART THOU BATTLESHIPS!!
Wish l could hear the Mighty Missouri's guns blasting away. You'd see the super battleship rock side2side from it…awesome.
И вÑÑ‘?
You can’t hurt anyone with that pansy ass gun. Wish they would add on some firepower.
Do ship's like this always litter empty shells into the sea. Seams like a waste.
This video will make everyone who reloads and picks up all their brass very anxious
Dang we used to have up to 40 cannons on both ship's sides
Hiling cuang dipulungan patremna ku aing…🤣
i think it would be better if they create a attack boat sized destroyer ship
