How HMS Eskimo lost her forward turret

Did HMS Eskimo lose her forward turret?

Yes. The bow structure beneath A mounting was destroyed, and the unsupported mount fell into the sea.

The damage was more severe than a turret merely being knocked out. An explosion destroyed the bow structure supporting A mounting, and the mount fell into the sea when the hull beneath it disappeared. The blast would have acted so quickly that the men at the position were unlikely to have perceived what happened. The event makes the physical relationship between a turret, its supporting hull, and catastrophic battle damage clear.
