Hope you enjoyed this fine photo gallery...
P.S., just imagine being on those ships as they fired... That was the true Shock N Awe... Head aches, phew everyone had to have them. Now, imagine being on the recieving end... Wonder what it really was like on the other ships as the were hit or what if felt like for soldiers in their bunkers as the shells landed... That is just AMAZING firepower.
