[Note: This is an image of a 16" triple turret from RL US navy service. As such it the scale of the people inside the turret to the guns and the turret are incorrect for a 25" gun. Also, it seems unlikely that a gun firing such a heavy shell would be loaded in exactly the same way as a much smaller gun designed in the 30s.]
