Actually, they're a hybrid, firing rockets from a barrel,once fired,the auxilliary rocket fires. A true naval gun can fire,at most,48,500 yards[Janes Fighting Ships 1984] which is 24.25 nautical miles, or roughly 29.1 miles, maximum without rocket assist, in which case it is NOT a Gun,but a rocket launcher! BTW, its seldom done since it tears up the rifleing in the bore.
