Danger Zone Fire Control

Danger Zone Fire Control was a system to prevent guns of one turret from firing when doing so would damage other guns or fixed structures on the ship. It was similar in purpose to Kilroy Danger Signal, but more assertive in its function, in that it actually locked the triggers of the endangering turret.

It also lit up red indicators when firing was dangerous or when power was removed from the system. It was fitted in H.M.S. Iron Duke
