  1. Unfortunate that they didn't go ahead with the triple turrets. If they could have gotten all the bugs worked out of a triple turret that early in history it would have been a huge game changer for The Royal Navy imho. And then when the Americans introduced the super firing twins the Royal Navy could introduce super firing triples. And triple turrets would have been introduced quite rapidly by any Navy wanting to stay on the cutting edge of technology. Then maybe the 3 triple turret layout all forward would have maybe been adopted in more ships too! I'm a big fan of the all forward armament cuz you can close on the enemy without presenting yourself as a broadside target but can still bring ALL GUNS to bear on the enemy. Thereby you have a good chance of landing blows while making your ship a smaller target. And if they can only see the front of the ship it is harder for them to identify what ship is closing on them until you fire your guns, of course.
