<HTML>Hi MPC,
I knew that they used deck guns during the great war, but did they sink a ship without the use of a torpedo with deck guns only before WWII?
Usually deck guns are used against aircraft and to deliver a coup-de-grace for a torpedoed ship right? I would say it is quite a risk to solely use deck guns to sink a ship unless it was unarmed and alone (which probably was the case).
Look forward to your response!
Best regards,
