This thread has certainly gone off on a tangent.

Turret farm or not, Triunfante's successor will likely have less - either twins of a larger caliber, or quads of some kind.  I've modelled a scaled-up version with 13" guns in six twins, but a 3x4 arrangement may be technically possible by the time I build it.

The two versions of the ship do offer similar firepower ahead, they just happen to produce full twelve-gun broadsides now.  Better to cross my T than line up parallel to me...

LOL... with 6 twins, and two of them superfiring, even crossing the T would be a bit dicey, because while you are steaming perpendicular to the GC line, at least 2 of the aft turrets will be able to fire on you for at least 50% of the time as well.

The design is as sound, if not moreso, than most running around now.
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in old Baghdad;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed
We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.
