The B-52 Stratofortess heavy bomber was the most powerful and feared weapon deployed during the war. The only weapon the enemy really feared, and the only weapon the American Fighting Man truly respected; and was awed by. Even more so than the Iowa class battleship, the USS New Jersey. The USS New Jersey was the only United States battleship to fire it's nine 16" rifles in the Vietnam War.
