How was this accomplished. Pictures? Diagrams? Evidence please.
Battleships' heavy guns (at least the Americans) had what was called the 'Stable Element', which fired the guns when the ship was exactly level (or was supposed too). Smaller ships didn't have anything like that, as far as I've ever heard.
