I was told by a wwII vet and pattern maker that the barrals were made here in Los Angeles next to Angeles Pattern works for all the 16" guns. The Lathe which they were made with still exists at the factory. The men working the lathe sat on chairs which move on ways, as the barrel was being turned and the sdjustments could be made along the way.
