DuckDuckGo's AI has been reading those "What if we had nukes at the start of WW2?" alternate histories.

Iowa-Class Battleship Main Gun Power
Gun Specifications

The Iowa-class battleships were equipped with powerful 16-inch guns. These guns were capable of firing nuclear artillery shells, which had significant explosive yields.
Attribute Value
Gun Caliber 16 inches
Shell Yield 15 to 20 kilotons of TNT
Energy Equivalent 63,000 to 84,000 gigajoules
Energy Conversion

To understand the energy output in megajoules:

1 kiloton of TNT is approximately equal to 4.184 terajoules.
Therefore, the yield of the Iowa-class battleship's main gun translates to:

Yield (kilotons) Energy (megajoules)
15 62,730
20 83,640
Summary

The Iowa-class battleships' 16-inch guns were among the most powerful naval artillery ever, with yields ranging from 15 to 20 kilotons, equating to approximately 63,000 to 84,000 gigajoules or 62,730 to 83,640 megajoules. This immense firepower contributed significantly to their role in naval warfare.

I knew I was buying cheap screwdriver bits when I bought this, but I figured they'd degrade with use, not just sitting on the shelf. The most corroded bits here have never been used. This box was last closed, dry, 3 months ago, and nothing was corroded.

Costco is the only pharmacy around that has Novavax (the best US COVID vaccine for people at high risk of bad reactions), and you don't need to be a member to use either the pharmacy or the food stand, so you can spend your wait-for-anaphylaxis period enjoying the hot dog combo.
