Klingt für mich auch logischer, weil ja sonst durch die Gischt das Rohr feucht werden kann, was bei Feuerbetrieb nicht ganz so dolle wäre. Aber ich muss auch sagen, ich habe keine Ahnung von der alten Sehfahrt...Dann ist alles klar , ich bin davon ausgegangen daß die Geschütze während der Fahrt ganz hinter den Pforten stehen
So konnte die Gefechtsbereitschaft sehr rasch hergestellt werden, da auch das Geschütz schon in vorderster schussbereiter Position stand.
Soweit jetzt alles klar, nur warum der ganze Aufwand mit den Halbpforten? Um auf dem kleinen Schiff mehr Deckfläche freizuhalten?

The British Admiralty did not see fit to provide additional powder to captains to train their crews, generally only allowing 1⁄3 of the powder loaded onto the ship to be fired in the first six months of a typical voyage,[citation needed] barring hostile action. Instead of live fire practice, most captains exercised their crews by "running" the guns in and out, performing all the steps associated with firing but without the actual discharge
