Thought this was interesting. Figured it would be pretty hokey, but it actually is very good.

FLAK. Note the figures they give around the 13:30 mark.

Enjoyed watching this. At the beginning, was surprised to learn that each three-gun turret was crewed by 72 men. I wondered why that many were needed. I soon learned. I also understand better why I'm not rearming my BBs at level one ports. Interesting film, thanks for posting.

I think I posted this video a couple months ago. Still, it's a good overview of the mechanics of the 16"/50 turret. I get skeevy just looking at that ramrod so near the operators' fingers and legs. Eesh...
