Navy Tests 32-Megajoule Railgun
"The Navy’s eventual goal is a ship-mounted railgun that can fire a projectile more than 200 miles at speeds of more than 8,000 feet per second.
Context: The Navy’s current MK 45 five-inch gun has a range of just 20 miles.
The Navy hopes to have a prototype ready sometime between 2016 and 2018."
