What ship fired the most shells of greater than 8" during the landings and in the following week or so of naval bombardment?
(hint, there are a couple in our fleets)
EDIT: I re-read what was posted. Warspite.
Yes, she was British. She had 15" guns. But she was not the Warspite.
HMS Roberts fired over 600 15" shells in support of the landings and in the next week. With a draft on only about 10 feet, she was able to move within a couple of miles of the shallow sand beaches and drop her 15" shells up to 18 miles inland.
