Gun layouts for the Untakeable and Unapproachable designs

It was only by reading about the Untakeable design with 16-10in guns that I realized what the layout was. The idea was to have 10 guns able to shoot on the broadside, forward, and aft. To achieve that, there was one turret forward, one aft, and three on each broadside. The middle turret on the side was superfiring. That allowed five twin turrets to shoot forward (if you ignored the nasty blast effects). The Unapproachable design was somewhat different. It relied upon wing turrets superfiring as well, but there were two twin turrets each on the forecastle and quarter deck. They were mounted to each side, to try and reduce blast interference. These were originally to be 7.5in/50 twin turrets. In latter versions, there was a uniform 9.2in/50 gun armament. The design used superfiring 9.2in twin turrets firing over the two turrets each on the forecastle and quarterdeck. The wing turrets were mounted at that level, and could fire over the turrets on the foredcastle and quarterdeck. As my photo showed, the hull was flush-decked. That was based on the drawing in Dr. Oscar Parks' British Battleships book. These layouts were actually impractical, as was the Dreadnought layout, as they all ignored blast effects, which were considerable.
