  Turret - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In architecture, a turret (from Italian: torretta, little tower; Latin: turris, tower) is a small tower that projects from the wall of a building such as a medieval castle.
Turrets were used to provide a projecting defensive position allowing covering fire to the adjacent wall in the days of military fortification.
A building may have both towers and turrets; turrets might be smaller or higher but the difference is generally considered to be that a turret projects from the edge of the building, rather than continuing to the ground.

 NOVA Online | Lincoln's Secret Weapon | Tour the Monitor: Turret
Although the concept of a revolving gun turret was not novel to armed forces of the mid-19th century, the USS Monitor was the first vessel in history to incorporate this engineering feature.
The turret was controlled by linkage at the rear of the starboard gun.
Before the turret could be revolved, it had to be "keyed up." On the forward side of the midships bulkhead was a Y-shaped structure called the turret support truss.

 Gun turret - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turrets allowed the smaller number of guns to be aimed and fired on both sides of the ship and at the same time provide armoured protection to the gun crew.
The UK tried the concept of the "turret fighter" in planes such as the Boulton Paul Defiant where the sole armament was in a turret mounted behind the pilot rather than in fixed positions in the wings.
In modern tanks the turret is armoured for crew protection and rotates a full 360 degrees carrying a single large-calibre tank gun, typically in the range of 105 mm to 125 mm calibre.

In the case of vehicle mounted turrets, destruction of the vehicle renders the turret unusable.
Covenant turrets fire bolts of plasma at a fairly high speed and with little deviation in terms of aiming (with the exception of the Spectre turret, which is more like its human counterpart).
Sticking a stationary turret operator is also a good idea (if you're unconcerned about losing the turret), as the enemy is stationary it makes him much easier to stick and an instant kill is guaranteed.

 Panzer IV Ausf.D kit comparison
The major external dimensions of both turrets are correct as far as possible with some small variation in the front plate and lower front turret panel angles but the plans are not conclusive in the area and the differences so small as not to really be a problem.
The forward turret roof is a separate part on the TRI kit to allow for easy provision of the different panels on the various Panzer IV kit done by TRI while if forms part of the full turret shell with the DR kit, this is not an issue just a different approach.
The turret rear correctly depicts the cupola bulge of these early Panzer IVs with the TRI kit also included the weld seam around the lower edge of the bulge which isn’t on the DR kit and both kits should have two conical bolt heads added at the base of the cupola bulge.

 Naval History Magazine: Raising the Turret, by Justin Lyons
The major objectives of Monitor Expedition 2002 were to remove a section of the Monitor's armor belt and hull that lay atop the turret, partially excavate the turret, and rig and recover the turret and all of its contents.
Shortly before 1700 the Manson Gulf crane operator lifted the turret gingerly a few feet off the ocean floor and placed it carefully on a lift platform designed to support the base of the inverted turret, ensuring the roof remained in place.
They were causing stresses on the turret that were deforming it enough that it may have caused problems with the turret's rotating mechanism.

The marder turret has no crew, vehicle commander and gunner are inside the hull (the basket is part of the turret with crew and ammo).
That means the commander and the gunner both rotates with the turret and the basket (but inside the hull).
