It was bad powder that underwent some sort of chemical breakdown that also result ed in the smoke becoming a warcrime.



That ended up condemning over half the the US Gun Cruiser ammo the old trash heap due to the navy not wanting it crews to need to wear gas masks while firing. Also slight resulted in the Iowa Powder being fuckered for their reactivation as they remixed the stuff to avoid similar break down, messing up the burn times.


Turns out storing powder for 40 year old while it made for only 10 years is a bad idea.


The 5 inchers were used often enough to avoid all that.
