  1. Georgia in World of Warships is firing super-heavy shells. The American 18"/48 experimental gun had a 3,850lb (1,746kg) super-heavy shell designed sometime in the late 1930s and test-fired in 1942. That's the "Type B" shell that Georgia, Ohio, and Vermont get in WOWS.

  2.  @vikkimcdonough6153  Originally 18"/48. Then it was relined to be a 16"/56 when guns above 16.1" were banned by treaty (to test the prospect of an ultra-high-velocity gun for the next battleship class). Then the lining was removed and the muzzle cap was cut off to turn in back into an 18", which reduced the length to 47 calibers.
