Description

An interior view of the starboard side of British battleship HMS Repulse (1892)'s after 13.5-inch (343 mm) barbette. The breech of the barbette's starboard 13.5-inch (343 mm) gun, its breech block removed, can be seen through the opening at far left. Levers controlling the barbette's hydraulic system are in the foreground. Thin splinter plating covers the top of the barbette, through which two sighting ports protruded; the sailor at rear has his head partially through the starboard sighting port.
