The FT was the first operational tank to carry a turret. In modern tanks, the turret is armoured for crew protection and rotates a full 360 degrees carrying a single large-calibre tank gun, typically in the range of 105 and 125 mm (4.1 and 4.9 in) calibre. Machine guns may be mounted inside the turret, which on modern tanks is often on a ...
The Ratte′s primary weapon would have been a dual 28 cm SK C/34 naval gun turret. This was a turret derived from one on the damaged German battleship Gneisenau but with the centre gun and its associated loading mechanism removed. [10] This allowed extra accommodation of ammunition and reduced the total weight of the tank by 50 tonnes.
The FT was the first production tank to have its armament within a fully rotating turret. [ note 1 ] The Renault FT's configuration (crew compartment at the front, engine compartment at the back, and main armament in a revolving turret) became and remains the standard tank layout.
However, a large number of repair and maintenance works can only be carried out while the ship is out of commercial operation, in a ship repair yard. Prior to undergoing repairs, a tanker must dock at a deballasting station for completing the tank cleaning operations and pumping ashore its slops (dirty cleaning water and hydrocarbon residues).

A destroyed Russian tank, with the turret to the right showing the results of the jack-in-the-box effect. Many modern Western tanks (for instance, the M1 Abrams, Leopard 2, and Leclerc) feature ammunition compartments designed to fail safely under fire, reducing damage to the level of a firepower kill.
The design was patented. Doxford's first ship, Turret, was notable for her abnormally long and wide hatches in the turret, and self-trimming due to the rounded shape in the upper hold and lower turret. She was thus ideal for grain. [6] Turret was designed for tonnage of 4,700 DWT at a load line draft of 20 feet 3 inches (6.2 m) at 2,850 GRT. [7]
As the British ship manoeuvred to bring 'X' turret to bear while closing the distance, she exposed herself to fire from Bismarck ' s aft turrets, which only managed to straddle Rodney. As the range diminished, she began to fire torpedoes, although shock waves from near misses caused the door for her starboard tube to jam at 09:23.
