USS Michigan (BB-26) firing broadside
Here we see the South Carolina class battleship USS Michigan (BB-27) firing a broadside from her 12in guns. The South Caroline class were the first all big gun Dreadnought to enter service with the US Navy and were armed with eight 12in guns, but unlike the Dreadnought they didn't have turbine engines, and would soon prove to be too slow to operate with newer battleships. .
