Warships working the "gunline" off the Northern coast of North Vietnam were stationed on YANKEE Station; warships working the line off the Southern coast of SOUTH Vietnam were stationed on DIXIE Station. The battleship USS New Jersey fired 16" high explosive shells during the war. The heavy cruisers fired 8" shells, the light cruisers fired 6" shells, and the destroyers fired 5" shells during the war.

What do sailors do in the gun turrids on battleships?
The battleship USS New Jersey was the world's last all gun (no missiles) battleship fighting her last war in Vietnam in 1968. Sailors manned the three turrets each armed with three 16" rifles (guns). Crewmen rammed the 16" projectile (warhead) into the breech, then rammed bags of gunpowder behind the shell (warhead), then primed the breech, then secured it (closed it). The guns were fired from the bridge gun-fire control rooms. The New Jersey fired approximately 5,700 sixteen inch and 15,000 five inch shells at enemy targets during the Vietnam War.
