Haha, dont know but if it's so, I'd love to see that! :rotfl: |
Look at the pictures again!
I just noticed: both pictures say the ship in question is firing a 15-gun broadside. With only nine guns?
It was speculated that the 7-turret, 14-gun battleship HMS Agincourt would turn turtle if she fired a full broadside. At the Battle of Jutland she fired several, with no ill effects.
