14" Gun Crew

The generally used number of personnel in a BB35 turret during World War II is 70. Turret 2 and 4 had to have more because of the additional shell deck between 1st platform and the gun house. Personnel of other non-combat rates augmented the turret crews.

Division 1 (Turret 1) taken prior to the 25 June 1944 battle for Cherbourg, France. 

58 personnel showing 2 officers, 1 CPO and 55 other ranks
