According to Castles of Steel, British warships during WWI had the anti-flash scuttles removed from their ammunition hoists to speed up the reloading of the big guns. Unfortunately, this meant that if an armor-piercing shell penetrated a turret, the heat flash from the exploding shell might start a fire in the powder magazine with predictable results.
