I'd say the owner of the ship decides with the caveat that the batteries
with facings 
in the arc of the incoming fire that forced the roll should be
considered first. Thus 
if I have

	     -C-

	   -C	C-

And the fire came in through the forward arc, then only one battery is
facing into 
that arc so it gets toasted. If in this instance it had been the port
arc then you 
could choose between either of the two batteries facing in the port arc.
if it had 
been the aft arc then, its your choice of any of the three and you'd
probably choose
one of the one arc batteries. This is a weakness but the solution would
be to have 
specific card systems for all possible battery arcs which would make the
deck messy 
and large.

Alternatively you could say the deciding factor between tied candidates
would be to 
take out the most expensive weapon (in point cost) first. This would
prevent better 
weapons surviving. However if we start costing weapons in threshold
rolls I think we 
are loosing sight of the point of a simple card system and you might as
well roll the 
D6.
