A15. See diagram showing comparison with current and historical naval guns. Compare with SR-71 (mach 3.5 maximum — 2,500 mph) and launch of the Space Shuttle (two minutes into the ascent, the space shuttle is about 45 kilometers [28 miles] above the earth’s surface and is traveling nearly 5000 kilometers per hour [3,000 mph]).
