wonderful ship Peabody. Those forward turrets were the source of endless controversy at the Bu of Ships back in the day. My grandfather said the scuppers ran red with blood over them, and various schools of thought on such strange turrent schemes. The greatest maverick of them all was the HMS Agincourt which was ordered and paid for by Turkey but siezed at the last moment by the RN due to german influence over Turkey in WWI. Thanks so much for the Brooklyn, she was a lovely ship and she and her sisters did yeoman service in the war and since.
