Talk:16inch Triple Gun Mount Mk.7/@comment-107.184.62.209-20160628092856/@comment-460323-20160628102201

I'm pretty sure the translations are done from a J -> E viewpoint rather than achieving historical / military accuracy. It's a hassle to go for historical accuracy as the names have to be derived from external sources (particularly for the planes) and have to be accepted by everyone (I'm looking at you, Kanhon/Kanpon boiler).

So yeah, it's boils down to being a hassle so we just stick to a J -> E convention where 連装 = Twin and 三連装 = Triple.
