well i would like to see what it looks like being shot off of a ship...

and then what the REAL impact looks like, not it hitting some curtain thing, i wanna see some buildings blow up or another ship, or a tank, SOMETHING that shows true destructive power

a shell at mach5 is pretty sick, im sure that could take out pretty much anything

Especially with a range of 230 miles.

holy shit replacing a rang of 23 miles with 230 sounds good to me

mount one forward and one facing backwards... so when they think they have you on the run, you cream them with a butt shot.... :D
