Coastal Artillery

Coastal artillery refers to large military guns installed along coastlines to defend against enemy ships approaching by sea. These defenses include reinforced bunkers and heavy weaponry designed to target and disable or destroy ships before they can reach shore or vital ports. Historically, coastal artillery played a key role in maintaining maritime security by controlling access to strategic areas and preventing naval invasions. Modern advancements have reduced their prominence, replaced by missile systems and airpower, but they remain important symbols of maritime defense in many historical or strategic locations.
