I had some sparse specifications of large caliber naval guns, also dating from March 1999. I would guess that all the muzzle velocities were intended to be about 2,700ft/sec:
Gun Shot Weight of piece
19in/45 3,900 lbs 205 tons
18in/45 3,324 lbs 175 tons
17in/45 2,800 lbs 147 tons
20in/45 4,480 lbs 240 tons
21in/45 5,180 lbs 278 tons
