To be honest I don't know but it wouldn't hurt to try. They aren't that expensive but maybe also check to see if you have any vacuum leaks. Maybe a boot or something is cracked :idk:
I forget if this was the Mighty Mo or the Wisconsin but during the Gulf War the Navy recommissioned them and this was supposedly one of those two firing all of its 16in guns. You can see the wake from the ship being pushed. One of my favorite pictures that I have seen.
