Webster,

We had a couple PMs and he means the other way. His guns on the Iowa will not hit targets closer than 10,000 meters. So the min elevation is probably a bit high.
I just looked it up and the real guns can be elevated from -5 to +45 but the in game's are set for 3 degrees. And since the guns are suppose to shoot about 20 miles, 3 degrees would not land very close.

Another interesting fact, the turrets are "three-gun" not "triples" since each gun can be elevated separately from the others. (Wiki)
