Note how the life lines on the starboard side have to be lowered for the gun to fire. Another poor design element.

Sorry @Chazman but nothing to do with design mate. All gun armed warships will lower their guard rails prior to a shoot, it's a safety precaution in case the gun needs to fire at lowest depression. I'm actually surprised they have only lowered the starboard side ones. It was a requirement to lower all the rails on the fo'c'sle when a shoot was on in the RAN.
