Explosion! Review

Explosion! In a former arms depot near the Submarine Museum, Explosion! (the name given to the Museum of Naval Firepower) gathers together munitions, mines, and missiles to relate the history of warfare at sea. The museum also tells the story of the local people who manufactured them. Interactive touch-screen exhibits explore all aspects of naval armaments, from guns to tactical nuclear weapons.
