Throwback to when a North Korean gun battery hit the USS Wisconsin with a single 155mm shot from a mountainside. It was the first and only time the ship had been hit from the shore. It hit some shielding, and caused little to no damage. In response, the warship turned all of her 16 inch guns on the mountainside, and obliterated it.
The USS Duncan, which was escorting the USS Wisconsin during their patrols, (and saw the hit and subsequent bombardment,) signaled “temper temper” before resuming patrols.

“WHAT mountain…?”
That doesn’t seem that bad of a response to me, it’s a battery not a residential hillside.
Giving someone the idea they can just take practice shots at ships whenever they wants is idiotic.
If they drove by taking shots every day for the next 30 days and then started invading with land troops it would be more comparable.
