#REDIRECT [[Naval guns and gunnery]]
'''Naval guns''' are long-barreled [[cannon]] carried by [[warship]]s. The classic role of such guns was to fight other warships, with secondary roles of destroying merchant ships or shore bombardment. With the advent of [[guided missile]]s, guns are largely obsolete for ship-to-ship combat, although advanced designs continue to be developed for attacking land targets.
