As far as I know and just for the INVINCIBLES, the firing of a wing turret towards the other side of the ship, caused great stretching of the deck and was not permitted during controlled cases. However during intense BC actions they were definitely used. After all there is a historic photo of HMS INVINCIBLE seconds before the explosion, where you can see that the non firing side wing turret had properly turned to the firing side.

I don't know if this problem of stretching still existed to the next BC and BS classes.
