Forgot to add: one of these was at Aberdeen Proving Grounds Ordnance Museum in Maryland. It was moved to Ft Lee, VA when the Ordnance School was moved there.

^The equivalent weapon, just down the road from me in Aberdeen, is a US Atomic Annie, same idea but it is far smaller. 280 MM vs 800MM (11 vs 31")

The M65 atomic cannon, often called "Atomic Annie",[3] was a towed artillery piece built by the United States and capable of firing a nuclear device. It was developed in the early 1950s, at the beginning of the Cold War, and fielded, by 1953, in Europe and South Korea.
