That would be one way of doing it

What do you guys think the feasibility of placing the 16 inch shells in an automated ready magazine in place of the projectile ring?

So work is coming along nicely, don't have a new image yet but I'm getting close to getting the details done for the side-view. Quick question, does any one now of any good examples of ships with top down views?
