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.
