When Ronald Reagan was president, there was a terrorist action in lebanon, what's new right? Anyway, he ordered a battleship to fire one shell every hour at them in retaliation. It had an extra effect because the shell had the weight of a small car, hence it roared as it flew through the sky. Really got on your nerves if you were on the receiving end I bet. It really didn't have much effect in deverting terrorist ambitions, but it looked real cool on the news.
