The aft turret of the New Jersey with 3-16" guns are trained to starboard. You can see the rear of the turret with an anti-aircraft emplacement on top.
I expect the inclination test was to check how many tons of seawater would be needed to cause a 1, 2 or more degree list in the hull. Essential for damage control.
