OK, math whizzes--> heli-battleship concept-- 16inch guns as on Iowa-Class WWII
era battleships. Does a broadside (9 guns) recoil crash the ship?
Most likely, yes. It would probably cause the ship to either roll or
severely stress the hull where the turret barbettes support the gun
mount. All in all, not a "good thing". Though it probably makes as
much sense as the 5" naval gun armed Orion battleship once proposed.
