[edit] gun-deck(ing)? Is this usage of the term accurate?

Referring to the following text:

gun-deck(ing) is a term used to convey that one has endangered the safety of the vessel equivalent to pointing the guns at the deck such that when they are fired the obvious catastrophic result will occur.

Is this accurate? Can cannons decline and rotate far enough to target the deck of the ship they are firing from? 216.36.186.2 (talk) 17:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
