I can't speak for the warships, but I know that tanks do not have turrets that can just be lifted off. They can't be that way because if in the heat of battle movement you run into something (like a building) with your gun tube, it would dislodge the turret and make the tank useless. Of course on a Navy ship, the likelihood of bumping into something is rather reduced in comparison.
