Mr. Voorhees:
I rechecked my original source (The Nimitz Library at the Naval Academy) and they caption this as the Number 3 turret. This was entirely my error in transcription. Thank you for calling attention to it and good catch!

The captioned should be revised to indicate a main turret number other than 4 since Iowa had only 3 main gun turrets. It looks like the aft turret.
