What 16-inch naval gunfire does to tanks

Did German tanks ever find themselves under battleship fire?

Yes, and 16-inch high explosive could wreck tanks through blast and near misses without requiring a direct hit.

A forward observer requested any available fire support and received 16-inch shells from offshore. The explosive force, fragments, ground shock, and cratering could disable or overturn armored vehicles across a broad target area. A direct hit was unnecessary because proximity to that much high explosive could wreck a tank on its own. Even modern tanks are not designed to endure heavy naval high-explosive bombardment.
