Does anyone know what's coiled up on top of the turrets?

That's the gunpowder that they used to shoot those rounds

Ron: Those are floater nets designed to be released if the ship is sinking, similar to the rafts lashed to the sides of the turrets. Once in the water, men can grab onto the nets to stay together and on the surface.

Sorry, but powder bags would never be left out in the wet air any longer than necessary or they would be no good. There is a better view of these nets here: http://ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=26127
