	NLS - Gun Turrets
		The Hampden was not equipped with a gun turret.
		Turrets such as this were used on virtually all Lancasters that saw action during the war.
		The turret on display in the museum is from a No. 420 (Snowy Owl) Squadron Lancaster and was "liberated" from the Pearce, Alberta RCAF base as the No. 420 Squadron Lancasters were being scrapped shortly after the war.

	Definitions and Information about Naval Guns - Part 1
		Gun designations during this time were per the diameter of the bore in inches or, for smaller guns, by the nominal weight of the projectile in pounds.
		Guns developed in Italy after that time were identified by their bore in millimeters, the length in calibers of the bore and the year design was started either on the gun itself or on the mounting.
		For example, the USN 16"/50 (40.64 cm) guns used on the Iowa class battleships had a new gun land to land diameter of 16.00 inches (40.64 cm) while the diameter as measured from the bottom of the groove to the opposite bottom of the groove was 16.30 inches (41.40 cm).

	CHAPTER-7-H
		The rotating structure is topped by a gun house; under this, the levels are the pan plate (which forms the bottom of the gun pits), two projectile flats, and a powder-handling room.
		Hydraulic power operations of the gun units are controlled by limit and interlock switches and valve-operating solenoids on the breech, rammer, tray, hoists, and case-ejector mechanisms, and control switches of the gun captain’s control panel in the turret officer’s booth.
		Turret II can function to aim the guns of turret I. (This is called “hi-turret” control, because turret II is several feet higher than turret I.) Each turret can also function in local control.

	Welcome to Maritime Replicas
		Arrangements for sealing the three gun ports comprise fixed and moving parts which consist of a weldment of splinter plates on the rear side of the front plate, shield plates on the gun slide, and a buckler (made of three-ply rubberized fabric) on the outside.
		In the gun house are located all units of all three guns (except the forward positions of the barrels), the rammers, projectile cradles, and the upper doors of the powder hoists.
		Turrets II and III are equipped with rangefinder mount equipment located and arranged at the rear of the turret.

	WARSHIP: BIG GUNS: BATTLSHIP BASICS
		Gun turrets had first appeared in the mid-19th century, but, initially, their weight was too much for the ships that carried them.
		Protection for gun turrets was key: Adopted from the French, the barbette, a fixed, armored shield, protected the platform on which the guns stood, and let guns fire out of the top.
		The amount and placement of armor varied, but five locations were absolute musts: turrets, decks, barbettes, bulkhead (vertical parts of a ship's structure), belt (strip lining the bottom of the ship, partly under and partly over the waterline) and conning tower (command tower).

	Modern turrets (Paul F Austin) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Multiple gun turrets were employed to conserve length and to a lesser extend, displacement.
		A turret, associated barbette and magazine was a great consumer of length of ship and for a given level of firepower, multi-tube turrets would fit in a shorter ship or make room for more engineering plant.
		Gun armament was such a low priority that the USN traded the Mk42 5/54 mount that on a good day could manage over 40rpm for the Mk45 that can only manage 10rpm but with much lower manning cost and maintenance required.

	8-INCH 3-GUN TURRETS MAIN ARMAMENT FOR USS SALEM CLASS
		These guns are arranged in two batteries; twelve twin mounts of 20-millimeter machine guns are symmetrically located on the weather deck and in the superstructure; twelve twin mounts of 3-inch/50 caliber guns are em-placed on the weather deck and on pedestals above it.
		All three turrets are located on centerline, the gun houses of turrets I and III being immediately above the weather deck while that of turret II is at the level of the first superstructure deck.
		Turret centers are 157.5, 205.5, and 538.5 feet (for turrets I, II, and III respectively) from the bow.

	The WWII Fighter Gun Debate: Defensive Armament
		Gun turrets were used, but they were carefully streamlined.
		To reduce drag, the nose turret of the early versions was at first deleted and simply faired over, and later replaced by a perspex nose with a single manually operated Browning or Vickers K gun.
		These nose turrets were a fortunate spin-off of new experiments with the "air cruiser" concept: The YB-40, a heavily armed "escort fighter" version of the B-17, and the XB-41, a similar version of the B-24.

	Layout - Armament - 16-Inch Guns
		Turrets I and II are located on the bow while Turret III is on the stern.
		A turret is a massive circular structure that is supported and rotated on a ring of heavy rollers.
		Each rotating turret consists of three 16 inch guns and all the equipment required to aim, load, and fire the three guns.

	Notes from the Turrets
		Slight delays were experienced on loading the left gun owing to the wire for lifting the gunloading cage stretching.
		The first shot was fired on the extreme port foremost bearing, which opened the gunports of L4 4-inch gun, blew away the canvas round the after searchlight platform, and caused most of the gear in the port seaboat to fall on top of the turret.
		The catch retaining breech screw open of the right gun would not go forward in the middle of the action, and consequently the breech screw revolved before the breech was closed.

	De Havilland Mosquito
		It was so fast and agile that it did not need gunners and gun turrets like all other bombers because it was faster than the enemy's fighters.
		De Havilland claimed that instead of turrets, their proposed aircraft would rely on its speed and agility to avoid being intercepted by enemy fighters, but the doubtful air ministry totally rejected this bold idea.
		They argued that it was a frail wood machine totally unsuitable for Service conditions, that it would be shot down because of its absence of gun turrets, and that in any case it was far too small to carry the equipment and an adequate Pathfinder crew.

	Gun Turrets 1
		If the nose gunner started to move his turret around, he would be soundly cursed by the navigator and bomb aimer for causing a blast of air to enter their compartment, also by the pilot for upsetting the trim of the aircraft.
		They had to be because when in their turret, they lay on their backs, with their knees level with their ears.
		This Sperry sight which was computerised, supposedly the gunner just had to enter the wing span of an attacking aircraft as the guns and the sight did all the calculations; the gunner fired and down went the enemy.

		From there your soldiers should be able to take out some power generators and some gun turrets without being attacked in return (if you tell them to attack the turrets, they’ll leave the high ground, but if you put them on the western edge and tell them to stand ground, they’ll attack).
		Approach and retreat as necessary until all the turrets on the western side of the base are destroyed.
		They’ll have to destroy two bunkers on the way to the northern (purple) base, and there might be a gattling gun turret that they’ll have to avoid (sometimes there’s a soldier in it, and sometimes there isn’t).

		The turrets mounted on the ceilings are especially tricky, as you have to tilt far back in tight quarters to destroy them while not banging your ass into the scenery.
		However, it gets down-right annoying since most turrets will be located in cramp spaces (for you to maneuver), or perched up top on a column in rooms where you won't know they're there until they fire upon you.
		This, of course, means the beam turret can beat you viciously and without mercy as you struggle to free yourself but find your thruster isn't powerful enough to unlock you from the damn lamp post.

		It can sometimes be easier if you do not destroy the last bomber from the first two pairs until the last possible moment, as this will delay the arrival of the new pairs and therefore give you a greater chance of killing them.
		The Tie Bombers are more important than these, as the gun turrets are often taken care of by your wingmen.

		Salvage operations involved removing the two main gun turrets aft, all of the ships superstructure and the guns from turret two.
		In the area of the most damage, the hull above the ship's main armor belt is missing, apparently as a combination of the explosion and subsequent salvage which involved the removal of metal from the hull that was projecting out from the side of the ship.

		Although the total number of guns is immense and the sleek dagger-like hull design gives most of these batteries a clear shot in almost any direction, the nett density of guns is much sparser than on a common mile-long destroyer [at least according to unverified published statistics].
		In absolute terms the big guns may be of the same scale as a star destroyer's heaviest turrets: tens of metres long.
		The numbers of these point defence guns may be impossible to count using presently available evidence, but they are likely to be many times more abundant and draw much less than the total firepower of the heavy turrets.
