Description | In the 1950s, the U.S. Navy developed and deployed nuclear artillery shells called 'Katie' for the 16-inch guns of Iowa-class battleships. Three battleships (USS Iowa, USS New Jersey, and USS Wisconsin) were modified to store ten nuclear shells each in their Turret II magazines. The modifications created secure storage spaces for these shells and practice rounds. The shells were carried at sea aboard at least two of the battleships according to historical records, although the Navy never officially confirmed this. |
