An animated naval gun turret, based on the Mark I turret of the British BL 15 inch /42 naval gun, which was used to arm big gun ships of the Royal Navy from 1915 to 1946. Ordnance is loaded into a hoist at the shell room, then powder magazines are added from the powder room. The hoist then transfers this load to the top of the turret, where the shell and gunpowder are loaded into the gun barrel and discharged. The cycle then repeats. Image credit: Emoscopes |
