How to model in SS?

[Kaiser Kirk]

So, I've always liked the 'frying pan' mountings on the British Carriers.

But..how would one account for them in Springsharp ?

They are not 'on deck' but more deck edge.
They could be 'below deck'- thats seems correct.

The traditional below deck mount- that does not give a warning- is casements.
Casements are lighter as they can kinda be built into the side of the ship, meaning the scantlings provide the structural support with little extra needed.....but they really are Mount and Hoist... but a 'below deck' mount& hoist gives a warning...

So:
A) On Deck M&H
B) Below deck casements ?
C) Below deck M&H and ignore the warnings ?

This of course then matters to my 'wall of lead' AA battery concept, with below deck casement, deck edge M&H, on deck M&H and then superimposed M&H... hmm maybe stacked casements, for 5 gun tiers. I could call it HMS Sovereign of the Seas....

Have to scroll down to the carrier pics of the mountings flush, or close to flush with the deck.

I'd probably go with bd M&H.  Take the warning.   Casement implies limited traverse and elevation.   

Though if the tonnage isn't appreciably different either could work with notes describing the mount.

I've gone for wing galleries with more traditional box mounts on them.

The conceptual idea I had

            [_]   1- Superimposed M&H
       [_]|   |   2- On Deck M&H
   |_|            3- Deck edged M&H
(_|               4- Sponsoned Casements.

= Wall of Lead.

With DP mounts, something scary looking vs. Torpedo attackers on water or air. While also being able to engage bombers high or low.
The weight penalty would be high, as would the beam requirements, but visually it would 'bristle' and it would be fun to bring - instead of the 20 guns of an North Carolina, 40 guns, 20 per side..  Buzzsaw effect on Destroyers, rapidly wreck a cruiser, and very unpalatable for an airwing.
