Aft pivot gun and command communications

Manually trained guns and shouted steering orders placed heavy demands on Warrior's crews during action.

Notes

Warrior's aft gun moved along deck tracks to cover different firing angles. Moving the mounting depended on manpower. Nearby steering arrangements also depended on men taking directions from the bridge. In action, gunfire and incoming fire would surround the steering position while bridge officers shouted instructions. Control depended on crews hearing and carrying out orders during action.
