	Turret ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Turret ships were a 19th century type of warship, the earliest to have their guns mounted in a revolving turret, instead of a broadside arrangement.
		Turret ship may be found applied to a type of late 19th century commercial steam vessel designed to minimize Suez Canal fees that were based on deck area.
		Turret Deck Ship is a more precise term for these vessels.

	Encyclopedia: Turret Deck Ship
		Turret Deck Ship refers to a type of late 19th century commercial ship designed to minimize Suez Canal fees that were based on deck area.
		These ships are characterized by a narrow 'turret deck' upon which all superstructure was built.
		The term Turret ship may be applied to these vessels causing confusion with the warship design in which guns are mounted in trainable turrets.

		This was the favored place of the ship's officers to gather whenever the vessel was under way.
		A wood mast mounted in the center of the turret and stanchions along the edge supported the awning.
		The only access to the outside was from the turret roof; crew dangled a removable iron ladder over the side of the turret for the men to climb down to the deck.

		If the ship spins on its axis for artificial gravity, it might be a good idea to locate the astrodome in the nose of the ship, i.e., at the center of the axis of rotation.
		He has lived in ships for years; it is literally impossible for him to smell the unmistakable reek of a ship that has been lived in - and, besides, he knows that the air is pure; the ship's instruments show it.
		However, since our ships are tail-landers instead of belly-landers, in place of a damage-control deck might be one or more special ladderways running along the core of the spacecraft.

	Baudy Lady Ship's Figurehead
		Regarded as the finest in the Navy when the ship was built in 1756, this figurehead represented George II in heavily gilded Roman armor, with a red cloak and helmet-crest, mounted on a rearing white horse.
		For a period in the Middle Ages the figurehead was eclipsed, as a necessity for every ship to be able to fight and the fitting of the forecastle platform left no room for the figure to rear itself proudly as it did in the long ships.
		The rich decoration of the ship had such a hold on popular fancy that even Cromwell was unable to enforce his order that all ships of the navy should be painted a "sombre fl." He had to leave her in her original state.

		HATTERAS, N.C. (AP) — The coral-encrusted gun turret of the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor was raised Monday from the floor of the Atlantic, nearly 140 years after the historic warship sank during a storm.
		The turret is the biggest piece of wreckage recovered during a salvage operation run by the Navy and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which controls the underwater sanctuary 16 miles off Cape Hatteras.
		The turret was lifted slightly and positioned on a platform designed to support the aging, 20-foot structure as it was lifted out.

	OilOnline - The Original Online Source for the Oil Industry
		The deck of the turret is constructed as a hub-andspoke shaped pancake structure which provides a degree of flexibility to accommodate the movement of the FPSO.
		This ‘flexible’ turret deck design is in contrast to the rigidity of conventional turret designs and has the effect of allowing the VLT deck to travel ‘in concert’ with the FPSO deck.
		Overall, the turret is a space frame structure, with the deck connected to the chain table at the vessel’s keel level by six support columns — for the 90-riser turret, the chain table would weigh around 490t, with the 28m long, 2m diameter support columns totalling some 200t.

		Today the ships' unique revolving turret, anchor, propeller, steam engine and several hundred small artifacts have been recovered and are on display at the USS Monitor Center at the Mariner's Museum.
		The models reveal the artistry inherent in the construction of ships such as Queen Hatsheput's Egyptian fleet, circa 1480 B.C., or a Roman merchant ship, circa 50 A.D. Some of the models have historical significance, including the Mora on which William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066 and Christopher Columbus's Santa Maria and Pinta.

		An obvious design flaw with this ship is the fact that this turret cannot fire directly ahead without blasting off the dorsal bow crest (strictly ornamental anyway).

		Turret Three leaked oil, hydraulic fluid, and water so badly that it was known as "the rain forest." All three five-inch gun mounts on the port side were frozen and could not be fired.
		Turret Three's loaded center gun was now aimed directly at the crewmen standing in a packed formation on the fantail for the change of command.
		When the ship had been overhauled between 1982 and 1984, she had been equipped with state-of-the-art electronic devices, which could either be shattered or knocked out of registration whenever the ship fired a broadside.

		I was fortunate to learn the fate of the ship "Shandon" which my father mentions in his narrative, she was towed, at the end of the war, to Port Phillip, Melbourne and scuttled and her bell still remains in the Townville, Queensland, maritime museum.
		His description of the state of ships is interesting in light of what is known about the desperate shortage of hulls in general and in particular to support war in what was then a remote corner of the world.
		This "turret ship" was not a military or ex-military ship.

		Her main task as an armor-clad ram ship was to play a role in the Dutch coastal defense together with two sister ships and two so-called monitor ships.
		Her armament was first of all the ram on her bow, mainly against wooden ships, and originally two 300 pounds, 23 cm Armstrong guns, with a total weight of 25 tons, in one turret.
		In 1951 she returned to Holland to serve as a net laying vessel or boom defense ship (small naval vessels equipped with large nets etc. to barricade sea arms, coastal waterways and entrances to seaports against enemy submarines.) In 1961 she was decommissioned and lent to the Dutch Sea Cadets Corps.

		A standard turret socket normally holds a multirole laser turret, operating either as a 20-MW beam laser or as a rapid-pulse 70 MJ laser, to be used for remote sampling or self-defence - including point defence against debris such as planetary ring material.
