You clearly don't understand much about offshore bombardment and amphibious operations. To attack a coastal point, it's not necessary to sail your biggest battleships up to the docks. You sit offshore and shell, then you send in lighter craft.

And two guns on Ft. Sumter was going to stop this?

As I said before, our nuclear missile force has never seen combat. I suppose they're useless and a big waste of money...

Wasn't funny the first time you told it.

Smaller guns on Wake Island held off the Japanese for weeks.

Good, because it's not a joke.
