The case for modern twin naval gun mounts

Are modern double or triple naval gun mounts still worthwhile?

Yes; a twin five-inch mount could strengthen naval gunfire support, and Russian designs demonstrate the value of trading some precision for much greater volume.

A modern twin five-inch mounting has technical merit for supporting troops ashore. A doubled weapon can raise volume of fire without requiring two completely separate installations. Russian twin mounts challenge the assumption that a slightly less precise gun is automatically inferior. If each barrel performs at roughly eighty-five percent of a rival but the mount delivers twice the fire, the combined system can produce a much stronger practical solution.
