I am completing my Honours Degree in History at 66 years of age and intend to follow with a Masters degree with a major interest in the fall of Malaya and Singapore 1941. I lived in the area from 1964 to 1974 and recently revisited there. I was particularly impressed by the great emphasis of the Museums in Singapore stating that the naval guns were NOT facing the wrong way. They DID succeed in preventing a sea attack BUT were all capable of being rotated to face the Japanese coming from the north albeit they only had armour piercing shells.With the exception of the Bueno Vista and one Johore battery 15 Guns they DID fire northwards. Yet endless historians repeat the same phase 'the guns were facing the wrong way'!!
I would welcome any information on the design of rotation, confirmation of the above whatever
