In the cabin on the first deck.
The reason why they do not fire at the same time is to minimize the negative effects of the shock caused by the recoil of the artillery on the load-bearing ship plate and hull structure. Even in the era when multi-turret gods dominated naval battles in later generations, on the same turret
There is still a small gap in the firing time of multiple main guns, and it is also due to the same reason.

Once, my legs gave out and I fell down onto the deck.
Five shells roared through the air and landed on a small island less than 300 meters away from the port side. This sea test did not set an obvious target on the island in advance, because the people in the military and police department also knew very well.
