Timothy's correct. I tend to prefer holes in the side shell to be higher up than that (!), but it's opening into a not-very-watertight boat handling deck anyway.
I'll do more investigating on enclosed bridge wings.
Don't draw guntubes the way you have done in the mainguns. All guntubes are not straight cylindershapes but narrowing towards the mouth. Thus you need to draw them sloped but on both sides, bellow and above, not just bellow as you have done now. Addendum: you do see this on some drawings, and it is...

The USN would dearly love a surface warfare fleet entirely made of Flight IIA Burkes, but that's not in the cards fi...
