The paper model apparently doesn't have gun ports showing on the after turret, which is surprising. It seems to have gun ports on the bow/forecastle area, but I'm not sure if they show the one facing directly forward.
Here are diagrams showing the deck gun set up and plan view, according to one source. I gather they aren't actually moving turrets, having gun ports on the after turret positioned port and starboard sides, pointing fore and another aft, with the forward gun placement (apparently under what I would call a forecastle deck) having gun ports forward, as well as abeam both port and starboard, the guns being on swivels inside the armoured turrets. If anyone has a better understanding of how the gun emplacements worked, please comment.
Cheers!
Jim
