5" shell

[Aragorn243]

Today's find is a 5" shell which I assume is US Navy. No luck finding information on it.

Markings around the band which is intact read:

5 IN SS MK48 MOD 1 LOT LSI 72 ZUNE G (eagle in square mark)

Only other marking I found is on the shell itself and is a G

It's painted red, hollow with no base and screws on both the inside and outside of the shell tip.

So, what does the SS, LSI, 72 ZUNE and red color mean.
