Yes, we have a couple of fortifications still here that had 15" or 16" guns... they say they could have hit Catalina if they wanted to (24 miles).
They also say that they only fired the guns once for a test... and it broke every window in San Pedro.
I'm bummed they removed the guns and mortars... they would make an awesome display... we do have a 15" gun and shell outside the maritime museum.
