Unfair comment.
Triremes in the Bronze Age were not equipped with 16-inch (406mm) rifles.

It is, but you didn't generate any new information, you just upsampled existing and added some artificial details.

....

Thats the shockwaves of the guns being fired, effecting the water. Not the "ENTIRE SHIP" moving. The guns are hellva powerful, but not that powerful to push a battleship that many hundred feet gb2/physicsclass/

But the OP's picture in>>158959shown the bow of the ship moving to the side. It does not appear to be a disturbance of the muzzle blast.
Anyone know for sure?
I have a picture of the Iowa firing two turrets to the right and one to the left and there is not the wake disturbance next to the prow. It's too small to post in /hr/, though.
So here's the HMS Surprise firing a broadside in the film, Master and Commander.

Those are actually waves generated by the firing of the main battery propogating outwards. Much like when you toss a stone in a pond, the surface displacement moves outward in a circle. Only in this case, there happens to be a 45,000 ton battleship across half of it.

Certainly looks like she's moving sideways, though.
