Subject: [MV] Atomic Annie - questions about them

A couple questions about "Atomic Annie"s, the 280mm mobile artillery
piece that was designed after WWII and deployed during the 1950s during
the Cold War.

First, how many of the guns were built?

Second, what was the service life (range in years) of the operational
status of the Atomic Annies?

Third, how many of the behemoths survive, and where? A friend of mine
in the service said that there may be several in storage in Europe or
Korea, for EMERGENCY use in the event TSHTF.

Thanks, any websites would be helpful too.

Mike
