Hmm, think  I got it. Sorry about the double post. The 15 inch turrets were built into the structure of the ship, and had a stalk that went down several decks. right?

Nope, I'm looking for what actually held the turrets in place.

Mr. Mellow wins the $10 iTunes Gift Certificate for answering the bonus question correctly.

True, gravity held the guns in place, and when the Bismarck sunk, the ship flipped upside down and all of the turrets came out....the ship now sits at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean right-side up without its turrets.

That's a pretty interesting way to place turrets on a ship, guess it works while it's not sinking.

So now that that question is answered. How the fuck did they hold big ass turrets up with Gravity?

The huge turrets were on top of the ship.....they simply droped the turrets down into the huge holes in the top of the ship that they built for them.  Gravity held them in place.  They normally don't build ships to go upside-down, so it worked for the most part.
