The deck or level of a warship where guns or cannons are mounted and operated.
From 'gun' + 'deck'. A nautical term that emerged with the development of multi-decked warships in the 16th-17th centuries.
On a large warship, the gun deck was the most dangerous place in battle—gunners worked in hot, smoky chaos firing cannons without being able to see the enemy!
