USN:
Photographed at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pennsylvania, 25 September 1916. Note holes in superstructure and in the cage foremast caused by this accident. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph. NH 61254.
On 21 September 1916, Michigan blew out her left hand gun in turret No. 2 during target practice. One man was injured by a piece of debris. After an investigation of South Carolina's guns it was discovered that copper deposits from the driving bands on the projectiles had narrowed the bores of the barrel enough that it caused the projectiles to slow down. This problem, known as "copper choke", allowed the pressure in the barrel to increase to dangerous levels. Lapping heads, to remove these deposits, were issued for all guns 12-inch and larger throughout the fleet. The lapping heads were later replaced by wire and pisaba brushes.
