  1. In WW1 the Royal Navy mounted some of their guns on railway carriages and used them on the Western Front. But after a while they were "gifted" to the British Army, much to their displeasure as they did not wont them either. In 1918 two 14 inch guns were mounted on rail carriages to be used in the 100 Days campaign which would see Germany surrender. The two guns were operated by 471 Siege Battery and were known as "HM Gun Boche Buster", operating near Arras with First Army, and "HM Gun Scene Shifter", operating near Bethune with Fifth Army. King George V personally oversaw the firing of the first shell by Boche Buster and the first shell fired from it heavily damaged a railway junction at Douai and became known as "The King's Shot"

  3. I forgot to mention about ramming. I seem to remember video of a Russian ship ramming a US Navy ship back in the 80s. I am sure I have seen the video on YouTube.
