It's very funny how irresponsible the Royal Navy was with tripod mast placement. Even after they discovered the problem with smoke interference, dreadnoughts like "Orion" and "Colossus" still had their tripod masts placed behind the funnel. Long range gunnery is hard enough without hot smoke suffocating you & blocking your view. German dreadnoughts, OTOH, never had this ridiculous feature.
