Triple turrets are presented as especially attractive for battlecruisers because they concentrate firepower without forcing excessive hull width. Quadruple mountings increase the beam and internal-space problem. A third triple turret could sit aft, superfiring forward, or alongside the others in an all-forward Nelson-style arrangement. Each option changes the hull and internal design around the main battery. Turret choice therefore shapes the ship's architecture as a whole.

Triple turrets balance concentration against hull width
Triple mountings are presented as a compact middle course between twin turrets and quadruple mountings that demand a broader hull.
