    The Iowa class 16 inch turrets are three-gun turrets, not triple. A triple turret raises and lowers all three guns at the same time. A three-gun turret can raise and lower each of the guns separately.

    According to an old 16" gun training video, those guns were a "Three gun turret" not a "Triple gun turret"
    A "Three gun turret" means that each gun can be adjusted for elevation independently of the other two guns.
    A "Triple gun turret" means that the guns are fixed together.

    For anyone wondering:
    MONTANA
    The five Montana-class ships (later three) were supposed to also carry the THREE-GUN 16"/50 Mk7 turret that the Iowas carried. None of the Montana-class were launched or even built for that matter.
    VERMONT
    The United States knew that it would be a matter of time before their weapons would be outclassed by something more modern during the first dreadnought era. In the 1920s, one extremely triggered-all-the-time Jacob Tillman created proposals for battleships that could beat out much everything that anyone else had to offer in return. One of these was Vermont, who was supposed to have FIVE 18"/48cal triple turret guns. Congress disposed of these plans, probably because the Panama Canal was gonna break open if one of these ships tried to pass through it.
    GEORGIA and OHIO
    These two were to also get the 18"/48cal guns, but in two-gun turrets instead. Neither of them were built. Georgia was an Iowa-class proposal that was rejected in favor of using the 16"/50cals instead. Ohio was to be a proposal for "after the Montana". Of course, Montana was never built, so naturally no plans for the Ohio were ever made.

    "Triple gun" most US battleships were able to raise their guns individually, making them 3 gun instead of "triple" or "twin/double," as the guns are acting individually and not as one.
    I don't know about cruisers and DDs, but I can say that about the battleship main battery. A good example of this: take an Iowa Class Battleship, their main battery has 3 gun turrets because the guns can go up and down independently, meanwhile the secondary/multipurpose 5" battery are double/twin mounts because when you elevate one gun, the other goes too.

    Three of Arizona's four 14' guns along with two of the turret housings were removed from the wreck during salvage operations in 1942. The housing and guns for Turret 1 remain on the wreck, while just the housing unit for Turret 2 remains on the barbette. Some of her 14' guns were incorporated into two island defenses on Oahu, in case of a possible Japanese invasion. Some of Arizona's barrels were later removed from the island defenses and installed on the USS Nevada and were used to fire on the Japanese in 1945. One of her barrels is now in Phoenix, AZ.

    Multiple mistakes made in this video. 1) there is a difference between a mount and a turret. A mount is bolted to the deck while a turret is held in place via gravity. 2) there is a difference between triple and three gun. Twin, triple, quad, etc. means that if u move one gun, the others move alongside with it. Whereas 2, 3, 4, etc. gun turret/mount means each INDIVIDUAL gun can be raised, lowered, and fired individually, all together, or in any combination of the total

      @lukeueda-sarson6732 3 года назад

      This post shows several misconceptions, albeit commonly-held ones. First, turrets need not be held in place only by gravity - most later "turrets" were, but if you want to get hyper-technical, they are gun houses, not "turrets", mounted on barbettes. If you look at the original naval turret, on USS Monitor, it had a central spindle, which was a definite weak point. Second, mounts are not always bolted on to decks. Turrets have mountings too, and even by your definition, they clearly can't be bolted to a (not "the") deck. (What of mounts ON turrets?!) Thirdly, the distinction you draw between a triple and a three-gun turret is a distinction only drawn by certain American authors, and is used nowhere else; where turrets are classified as having individually sleeved mountings or not.

    IIRC the Pensacola & Portland class 203mm guns are "triple turrets" and were not individually sleeved - they had to be elevated at the same time. It wasn't until the New Orleans class that the 203mm became "3 gun turrets" which can elevate independently.

      Yeah, I wonder what is the reason of why did some European navies (i.e German, Italian, French, rarely UK) choose 15 inch over 16 inch, with higher caliber guns you got higher penetration and range right? (generally).
      I only see odd number calibers (i.e 11, 13 and 15 inchers) on EU ships.

    @daknyaz 3 года назад +3

    I would not call most of them twins or triplets. Twin and triplet mean that all barrels are connected to each other and elevate at the same time. If barrels can elevate in a single mode, those turrets called two gun turrets or three gun turrets.

    • @waverleyjournalise5757
      @waverleyjournalise5757 3 года назад

      I don't know how many, but quite a few of them did have all the barrels connected like that. It was a feature they used to keep the turrets narrow enough to fit on the older hulls.
