Not too much above CL-class, most ships firing over their bows are
at risk of breaking their bows away - not by hitting them directly,
but rather from the concussive force of the muzzle blast. My
father served aboard the Salem, CA 139 - he told me that she had to turn-away
in order to unmask her guns so that the concussive force of gunnery
would dissipate over the water. BTW, did you know that one
of the 5-inch mounts aboard every Iowa was manned and serviced by
Marines?The_Chieftain: It may not have been preferred, but it was always an option
in a fight. Indeed, the ability to superfine the #2 turret directly
over the #1 seems to have been a design requirement for North
Carolina. I have to say, I wouldn't be keen on being in the #1
turret at the time, but there you go. If that last line is
correct, it seems to be correct only partially. The 5" mounts which
were manned by Marines on New Jersey, for example,
are specifically identified by the EGA painted on the sides. I
seem to recall they were numbers 7 and 8.
