Dude says Vesuvius never saw active service, which flies in the face of the Wikipedia entry that says it made at least one coastal bombardment during the Spanish-American War. Who's telling the truth?

Closely related to the nitroglycerin squirt gun...
This just screams out for a "Mythbuster" episode!
Thank you for the interesting morning read. For a few moments, I actually forgot to be cranky about being up so early.
Oh look, a warship stuffed full of dynamite! What could possibly..
Yep.
