Do Battleships move sideways when they fire?

Yes I did the pictures too.

Look at the picture again.

The ship also shows the deck tilted. The wake from the rear of the ship shows nothing of the front because twice the firepower projects from the bow portion of the ship causing the ship to be projectected back and the bow to swing to the port. Also of note is the far smaller width of the bow section as opposed to the stern section of the ship.

Look and the very first bow track (the small one) it shows it. I am not talking the blast ripples.
