Ale jak walnie w tą lufę albo w jej okolicy to ją unieszkodliwi.
Pewnie, że ciężka lufa działowa to kawał cholery, ale nie wytrzyma bez szwanku trafienia cięzkim pociskiem. A tym bardziej jarzmo, łoże oporopowrotniki etc. Bo nie są one całkowicie osłonięte pancerzem, z powodu wspomnianych otworów (których przecież lufa nie wypełnia w całości) co otwiera wolną drogę podmuchowi i odłamkom.

ENCLOSURE "B"
REPORT OF DAMAGES SUSTAINED 7 DECEMBER, 1941:
GUNNERY DEPARTMENT
(A) Damage to Turret II.
A bomb, apparently converted 15" or 16" shell about 1500 lbs. of low order detonation and small flame, struck the center gun outside the turret on the chase of the gun adjacent to the gun port. Upper right hand surface of the chase about 45° from vertical center line of barrel.
Exterior Damage.
Hole in center gun through out hoops ("D" hoop) and into adjacent hoop ("C" hoop). "D" hoop badly cracked throughout its entire length.
Metal strips used for securing storm bloomers were blown off left and center gun ports and torn loose from face of turret on the right gun port.
Chases of left and right guns badly pitted (maximum depth 3/4") by fragments. (Turret crew filed and machined down the rough surfaces.)
Several bolts holding weather strips to slide shield were sheared off.
Interior Damage.
Slide of center gun cracked. There is a 1" crack extending aft on both sides of the lower cylindrical surface for about a quarter of the length of the slide.
Gun port shield cracked above the pointer's seat.
The plug operating lever and cam bolt was sheared off the breech of the center gun. (*New one manufactured by the machine shop and installed.)
Both left and right guns are out of alignment. Guns are moved outboard about 1/2" so that gun port shields bear slightly against face plate and shoes near breech bears heavily against the outboard rubbing strips. It appears that the outboard deck lugs have bent outward slightly. Guns elevate satisfactorily.
Optics in the center pit were badly jarred. (New ones have been installed.)
(B) Damage to Turret III.
A bomb, the same type as that described in paragraph (A), struck the top of the turret and pierced 5" armor of the after key plate. As it entered the turret it exploded with a low order detonation and broke up, pieces flying into the booth and left gun chamber. Flames from the blast shot into the booth and into all three gun chambers. The turret crew had just manned their stations and were in the process of closing all flame-proof doors and hatches when the bomb struck. In its descent it sheared off the starboard after yardarm of the mainmast giving the bomb an angle of fall of about 75°.
Exterior Damage.
After key plate (5" armor).
Longitudinal crack 4 feet long and, at the widest portion, 1 foot wide.
Entire left side of plate, 7 feet measured from side armor toward center and 6 feet from after vertical armor to top transverse armor plate, dished in to depth of 10 inches.
Bronze armor bolts in left edge of plate broken off.
Double row of steel bolts connecting after key plate to transverse plate wire-drawn. Bolt heads drawn through transverse plate allowing key plate to bend down.
Interior Damage.
Left gun after transverse supporting girder - bent and partially broken by fragments of shell.
Transverse flame-proof bulkhead between booth and left gun buckled vertically from bending of armor plate above. Upper gun buckled vertically from bending of armor plate above. Upper 6 inches flared in toward booth.
Flame-proof door between left gun chamber and booth (had been closed with only one or two dogs) warped until lower half nearly at right angles to upper part.
Rangefinder bent at angle of 45°
Periscope on left side of booth driven through to the deck.
Visual range and deflection indicator and fiddle boards (welded to left bulkhead) in the booth and all electrical cables and sprinkling and air pressure lines on left side broken up.
Rammer head, housing and section of chain badly crushed. Rammer motor frame pushed down out of alignment.
