[Gunter Ahrendt] You can come see the Atomic Cannon! It is at the U. S. Army Ordnance Museum here on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Exit 85 off the John F. Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 95) at Aberdeen, follow Maryland Route 22 to the main gate, and ask the Military Policeman where the Atomic Cannon is. It is not far from the main gate at all, and it is right out in the open where anyone can see it. -- Matt Rosenblatt (matt@amsaa.brl.mil)
