Why the Super Town's quadruple turrets were divided

Would the Super Town's quadruple six-inch turret have been split internally, and how would its four guns have been arranged?

Probably: an armoured division could preserve half the turret after a hit, and staggered gun positions would help reduce interference between the barrels.

A viewer asks whether the Super Town mounting would have followed the French split-quadruple arrangement or operated as one open group. A strong internal division seems likely because it could isolate damage and leave two guns working after an eight-inch shell penetrated one side. The slightly staggered outer barrels also offered a way to limit mutual blast disruption. Belfast already had ample ammunition-handling space below the turrets, so the unresolved obstacle was the weight and gearing needed to turn the complete mounting rather than fitting four ammunition paths into the hull.
