Cleaning deck near 5in Gun, USS Oklahoma (BB-37)
Here we see three of her crew holystoning the deck near one of the open 5in guns on the Nevada class battleship USS Oklahoma (BB-37) at Guantanamo Bay in 1919. This gives us a good view of the gun mechanisms, but doesn't look like a very health position to be in battle.
