Why on Earth is this called 45 caliber? To me, that's a pistol caliber, .45 inches. It cannot be 45 cm, either; that's closer to 18 inches.

Anyway, do we need this article, even as a lemma? Or should we just have one article on 16 inch naval guns, or even just one on heavy naval guns with 16: included? Sandy Harris 05:58, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
