There's a reason they clear the weather decks when the mains are firing.

You're not going to tell me that officers didn't do paperwork on the decks of a ship whilst it's underway? Especially if it's supposed to be a battleship with 15" guns that's in a battle?

Check out the number of guns in the two gun turret in the AI slop video thumbnail I showed, which, from the headline, I guess is supposed to be about HMS Warspite.

And I do actually wonder if the 3-guns in a 2-gun turret thing might actually be from AI learning from images of Esher and Esher-inspired drawings

I've taken one for the team and watched it.
What if I tell you, the picture above is actually one of the more realistic ones?

It beats suicide I guess. Had two friends "go out together" (according to the note they left). Rural Indiana was not gay-tolerant in the '60s.

I had a distant cousin whose whole year in Maynooth seminary (back in the early nineties when Ireland still bred priests) were offered the choice of either flunking out or being shipped off to various seminaries in the US, as punishments for two of their class mates (both grown adults) being caught in the act together.

Collective guilt, religion's good at that ◊◊◊◊,.
 
I would point out that there was no battle going on. The forward guns were firing, specifically #2 turret, but not the ones in the after turrets. This means "drills", "testing", or something else similar. Routine day for the ship, not a battle.

Bu... Bu... But that wouldn't make sense in the context of the thumbnail text, it would mean it was a load of old ru- oh.

The middle gun is permanently mounted in that position, can't be trained up or down. The gunners' mates would be highly pissed at the brass putting MORE junk in a turret.

Are you telling me that @erwinl 's exhibits A to D, especially B &C are not practical?
