Gryff, no need to yell. Turn up the gain on the mic channel and you can whisper. You want the crew to do all the yelling, while you do your best Mush Morton with a calm, cool drawl. Since there is nothing at stake but (at worst) a "Ded iz ded" career restart, it's easy to do, and earns lots of self-awarded macho points. Works for me!

It may be even worse: "See, Maude? He's talking to himself again!"

But, what the heck? That's it then. Where do I sign up! I'll get this baby cranking. I'll be fascinated to see the level of fine control achievable (like when going after a surface target with the gun that is crossing my bows, I'll put on one or two degrees of rudder and order the Engines to make precise revolutions so that the BOAT pretty well tracks constant angle to the target. No fiddling with transiting the gun (control + arrows still too coarse for fine adjust anyway.)

I've told you before that I'm a lazy bastard. This way, I can sit on my banana chair and pull the firing lanyard while sipping on my mai tai (problem is, I'm rapidly running out of umbrellas. The crew laughs, but I justify it on the grounds that its a drink based on rum, and its good for morale {mine}). But not to worry, I only get 5 or 6 merchants per cruise with the gun, so I can't do it that often anyway...

You'll have to excuse me: I've got to get back to work. "Hey, Chefo! Bring more ice, will ya!?"

They will prolly conclude that living upside down has affected your mind. All the Oz I've known are one cog short of a ring gear. (And that is a trait I admire!)
