Sorry, I cannot give references for my information. I think it may have been a library book and the last time I used a library was over 30 years ago.
Anyway, it was ‘explained’ to me some time ago and made abundant sense at the time, it still does.
It, like much other pre-internet info, remained to the back of my mind until triggered by the OP question.
It seems that my information source may have got that wrong - I had better delete that ‘brain file’.
The picture of HMS Centurion seems to put the lie to that idea, unless anyone else wants to join in.
Yes I typed P, should have been Q. - same part of ship, different ends of the keyboard. Oops.
