Mark 16/1 Triple 6 In /47 Turret
The Mark 16/1 triple 6-inch /47 gun turret (3x152 mm) was a feature of many U.S. cruisers during World War II. The Cleveland-class cruiser from that period had four such turrets.
Each turret carried three 6 inch /47 Mark 16 guns.
Today one of the few triple gun turrets left in the world is on the museum ship USS Little Rock (CG-4), which is located in the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park in Buffalo, New York.
