France:
Vice Admiral Dartige du Fournet and his staff aboard a French dreadnought, probably his flagship France, 1916
Submarine Sidi-Ferruch (Q181) in the Old Port of Marseille, 1939
The conning tower of submarine Astrée (Q200) equiped with a German 88 mm SK C/35 naval gun
Picture probably taken in the 1950's.
All the Aurore-class submarines, except for the lead ship, would not be completed before the end of WW2. These coastal submarines were meant to be equipped with a 100mm naval gun, however Astrée and other sister ships would end up carrying a German gun instead.

RN:
A 2F.1 Camel in a canvas hangar fitted to the roof of battlecruiser HMS Tiger's 'Q' turret in 1917. Somewhat unusually, the aircraft would be launched over the rear of the turret
Battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth at Rosyth during WW1
The wooden frame over the barrels is for supporting the tail of the aircraft. A similar arrangement was provided for in 'Y' turret of Repulse, Renown, Glorious and Courageous, and 'X' turret of Lion and Princess Royal. In all other cases aircraft were launched over the fore end of the turret.
H.M.S. Orion, flagship of the Second-in-Command, Third Battle Squadron, leads Monarch, Conqueror and Thunderer, 1918. Taken from H.M.S. Queen Elizabeth.
