	Turret ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		The ship was lying on her starboard side with the bow on a heading of 080 degrees, almost directly toward the east.
		The Number 2 turret had ripped loose from the ship and had slid to the starboard side with its barrels pointing directly down and embedded in the silt of the sea floor.
		We knew the ship was still underway as it sank and, with its length of 600 feet, realized that the bow probably impacted the bottom while the propellers were still turning on the surface.

	Man on the Ocean, by R.M. Ballantyne, Chapter 12 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The sides of the ships are protected by iron plating of eight-inch thickness amidships, which is an inch more of iron than the armour possessed by the majority of our masted sea-going ironclads, many of which are twice or thrice the size of the Cyclops and her sister-ships.
		The majority of ships of this description have their turrets in the middle line, from which it results that only one half of their guns can be directed on an enemy, whether ahead or astern.
		Ships of war have now to contend with such formidable enemies in the shape of guns, torpedoes, and other engines of terribly destructive power, that it is difficult to say at present which will eventually triumph.

		Hercules," completed in 1868, was a much more important ship, her dimensions being: length 325 ft., breadth 59 ft., draught 262 ft., displacement 868o tons.
		Sultan," completed in 1871, was in many respects a similar ship but larger, having a displacement of 9300 tons, 2 ft. more beam and 1 ft. more draught; she attained a speed of upwards of 14 knots.
		adoption of armour for the protection of the vital parts of ships had become established, and especially had the importance of utilizing armour in such a manner as to exclude projectiles from the region of the water-line become recognized.

		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.

		The two guns were mounted so as to revolve with the turret and the turret was aimed and not the guns, except for the up and down sights, which were of course adjusted from arrangements on each gun.
		Of course there were from the beginning on these ships forced ventilation, fans drawing air down from special armored trunks leading well up into the air and forcing air everywhere, this air to finally escape through the top of the turret, which consisted of a heavy metal grating.
		Sea trials indicated that her heavy turrets caused her to roll dangerously in a seaway, and that her hull was not sufficiently strong to bear their weight and the concussion of the continuous firing.

	Introduction
		Their turrets are usually pretty invulnerable, but any waterline hits tend to send them straight to the bottom.
		Ships roll d6 for every gun in the firing battery (which in the case of 3 deckers can be 30+ guns).
		If a turret is hit by a non-penetrating hit for a Ericson turret, it may jam, but only if the gun failed to penetrate by 1 point.

	Today in Technology History - Jul 8
		The revolving gun turret is one of the most important inventions in the history of naval military technology.
		Before the revolving turret, the best way for ship designers to give a warship the maximum firing and aiming ability was to put a lot of guns aboard -- but that made ships longer and less maneuverable.
		With a revolving turret, a ship could be small and quick while still being able to bring concentrated firepower to bear on a particular target.

		The provision of defensive armour for ships of war had long occupied his attention, and he had constructed plans and a model of a vessel lying low in the water, carrying one heavy gun in a circular turret mounted on a turntable.
		Among others, Ericsson replied, and as it was thought that his design might be serviceable in inland waters, the first armoured turret ship, the Monitor, was ordered; she was launched on the 3oth of January 1862, and on the 9th of March she fought the celebrated action with the Confederate ram Merrimac.
		The peculiar circumstances in which she was built, the great importance of the battle, and the decisive nature of the result gave the Monitor an exaggerated reputation, which further experience did not confirm.

		She was an extraordinarily ugly ship with one huge funnel and a very tall ventilation trunk at the tip of the bow.
		Unlike the earlier coast defense turret ships, which did not need a full rig because of their coast line operation, these two were expected to steam anywhere in the world and a full rig was considered a necessary piece of insurance in a period of balky steam engines.
		The first step is to remove the 10-inch MLR from the turrets, scheduled for February 2005, to lessen the weight on the breastwork and hull, with the eventual goal of raising and restoring this irreplaceable relict of history.

	Aiming spaceship turrets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I can make the turrets point correctly towards a stationary target when the ship itself is also stationary and if the turret fires a projectile it will hit the target OK. However, if the ship and/or the target are moving it's much more complicated because the projectile will already have a velocity to start with.
		You then have your gun turret aim at a ships target pivot and not the ship, as the pivot is always out away from the ship depending on what speed its doing your turret will aim in the right place.
		SP PV If the box is the Player Turret, SP is the Ship, and PV is the ships pivot, its well out in front cos the ship is moving fast, In this case the Turret will shoot in front of the ship but the ship will fly into the bullet, THUS getting the kill.

		The ships owned an iron rump with a additional 114 mm-plating in the admidschip region.
		It was the first ship of its class with reduced freeboard, after the manner of the american monitors.

		The first of the Royal Navy's many ironclad capital ships, she entered service in October 1861, somewhat over a year after the completion of the French battleship Gloire opened an international competition in armored warships that was to continue for over eight decades.
		Following a refit that eliminated her square sails in favor of a fore and aft rig, the turret ship served for several months in 1870 as coastguard ship at Hull but then spent nearly a decade in reserve.
		Affixed to her bow was an iron ram, allowing the ship herself to be employed as a deadly weapon.

		The main force holding these turrets on the ship was gravity: if a ship capsized, often its turrets would simply fall out.
		The turrets (and in the Dreadnaught-era, the gunlaying computer) were the most technologically advanced features of the ship.
		On this picture of the after turrets on Hood, you can see how the PE details were installed and the rangefinder periscopes extended (the white areas are fabricated from Plastruct stock).

		A final trial of the new steam-steering apparatus of the turret ship Cerberus, before accepting the work from the contractor, was made yesterday, and the results of the tests were of a thoroughly satisfactory character.
		Even when this was done the ship would make such a turn that it was a matter of time and difficulty to get her on a straight course again.
		On Thursday boats` crews were sent away from the ship to try and recover some of the shot, but there was such a sea rolling around Point Nepean, that the men were unable to land, and accordingly the day was devoted to drill on board.

		Although the Monitor, with its advanced steam engines, rotating turret and 9-inch thick armor, was a technological marvel for the era, it was never very seaworthy and went down with 16 crewmen during a storm on Dec. 31, 1862.
		The 22-foot diameter turret, the ship's two 11-inch Dahlgren cannons and assorted ammunition and equipment were pulled from a depth of 240 feet.
		Also remaining in the turret was part of a skeleton of one of the Monitor's crewmen, trapped beneath a gun carriage as the ship sank.

		When laid down in 1905 she was intended to be armed with four 12-inch and eight 8-inch guns, but in 1906, in response to the construction of HMS Dreadnought, she was hastily redesigned to carry eight 12-inch guns, substituting single 12-inch for twin 8-inch.
		She thus had a hexagonal arrangement, with twin turrets on the centerline fore and aft and single turrets at the corners.
		Construction began on a second ship in 1921, but it had not progressed very far when the Washington Treaty was signed, and she was broken up on the ways.

		He left the ship on 19/31 March 1864; returning to Nikolaevsk, Makarov completed his studies in 1865, finishing at the head of his class.
		Makarov had at some point returned to the Pacific Squadron, where he served until 1871, when he was transferred to the Baltic Fleet; there, among other ships, he served aboard the coast defense turret ship Rusalka.
		It was the admiral's intention, Kirill goes on to say, that the ships already outside harbor should shelter under the shore batteries until reinforced.

		The turret was the first revolving gun of its kind and will eventually be on public display in the Mariners’ Museum in Newport News, Va. The famed warship sank 240 feet to the ocean floor during a heavy storm off Cape Hatteras on Dec. 31, 1862.
		The ironclad with the rotating turret served less than a year before it was lost.
		In about 10 years, the turret will come out of the restoration tank in Virginia where it can now be seen; and future generations will be able to feel the iron of the first rotating turret, on one of the first ironclad ships.

		Note the lowered bulwarks abreast her two turrets, hammocks stowed around the turret tops to form rifle pits, and her tripod fore and main masts.
		She was reportedly the first ship fitted with tripod masts, which eliminated standing rigging, thus increasing the arc of her turrets' gunfire.
		Her rig had been reduced, as seen here, in about 1868, and she was sent to Hong Kong in 1880 as a harbor defense ship.
