As claimed in the present invention the barrel of the gun (11) shall be journalled for elevation in trunnions (18, 18) mounted in an inner turret basket section (22) outwardly shaped mainly like a truncated conical section which, via two concentric circular slewing rings (24, 25) located and distanced one above the other, is mounted in an outer turret basket section (23) of the same general shape as the inner turret basket section (22) but of a larger diameter in order to accommodate the said inner turret basket section (22) and the slewing rings (24, 25).
