Forecastle of MM Andrea Doria as viewed
from the bridge about 1918
Note the 3"/50
(7.62 cm) anti-torpedo boat guns on both turrets. In my estimation,
this indicates that "B" turret, although in a "superfiring" position, could
not actually fire over "A" turret, a limitation which was typical of British-designed
mountings of the time.
