Back around 1899? the Boers had besieged a city (Ladysmith I think?) and the only way the British could lift the siege was by dismounting large naval guns from ships, transporting them inland and firing them at the fortified Boer positions.

@154Kilroy Well I was just pointing out an instance where naval guns were used against the landlocked Boer army. This was only 15 years earlier, so any middle aged military officer would remember it. But I agree, the chance of it ever happening again was tiny. I think @Emdiggydawg 's suggestion is far more likely.
