Were Vanguard's turrets used in Sink the Bismarck?

The identification of Vanguard as a filming location remains tentative, with Belfast raised as an alternative.

Question

Were turret scenes in Sink the Bismarck filmed inside HMS Vanguard?

Short answer

Vanguard is a tentative identification for some scenes, with the location still unconfirmed.

Notes

HMS Vanguard is a tentative identification for some turret scenes in Sink the Bismarck. The recollection remains uncertain, and HMS Belfast is raised as another ship that was available. Belfast's 6-inch guns also prompt the point that a camera does not necessarily make a turret's calibre obvious.
