Amidships 6-pounder guns, USS Illinois (BB-7)
Here we see some of the crew of the Illinois class battleship USS Illinois (BB-7) drilling with the amidships 6-pounder guns at some point before 1917. Note the boats and oars stowed overhead, giving the illusion of a roof, and the platforms used by the gun crews.
