Photo of the USS Iowa firing its massive guns taken from the air. Note the huge shock waves on the ocean belos the barrels.

Dumb question but does USS stand for "United States Ship"?

Why, yes; yes it does stand for United States Ship! :tu

Here is another pic of the USS Iowa showing it being moved sideways by the force of the blasts.

Look at the wave patterns near the ship on the left hand side.
