I think you are right. In real life would all nine guns ever be fired exactly at the same time or would there be a ripple? i.e., Turret 1, turret 2, turret 3 right after another?

Can all three turrets be fired at the exact same time?

Also, if you want to spend a lot of time (a big lot of time) finding out things (including why nuclear-powered aircraft carriers don't really go 50 knots, or 45, or even 40) have a look through their main page.

Navweps needs to be bookmarked by anyone interested in .. uh.. well.. naval weapons.

It is an awesome website!
