Hello there
This build features 4 distinct turrets of the 5"/38 mark 12 single enclosed mount types, of which are commonly found in many US Destroyers, particularly, these builds are modelled around those found on the Fletcher Class Destroyers, all for the cheap price of 30-31 parts
They all seem to look the same? Whats the difference?
I'm Glad you asked, the turrets are divided into two categories, between the early war configuration and late war configuration, and within those two groups, there are two subtly different turrets, The so-called "Single Knuckle" and "Double Knuckle" Gun Turrets.
Here, I have highlighted the difference between the two
Single Knuckle Turret (note the flatter roof)
Double Knuckle Turret (note the extra angle on the roof)

For further context, the Double Knuckle variant of the Mark 30 Mount is also slightly heavier than that of the Single Knuckle variant, for it's roof is more reinforced to be more resilient towards the gun blast pressure of the guns above it
