Actually, guns are being phased out on all modern navies because of the
difficulty of operating them and the amount of weight required on the
firing ship to keep the whole thing from sinking. A 100-mile gun is pretty
useless since there is no guidance. When the shell has travelled the max
range, the target will have already moved out of the way.
