You need to check your facts a bit closer on this.  Battleships did
carry black powder, but the 16 inch guns use mostly smokeless powder.

There is a small amount of black powder on the ends of the smokeless
powder bag to aid ignition. One theory is that the sailors ran the
hydraulic loading rammer too fast and set it off by friction or
compression.

Joe Biden is going to bring on some serious payback and he's just the

There won't be a Republican lawyer out of work for a decade.
All fair and square.

Unfortunately you may be right. They seem to have no objectives beyond
power and revenge.
