So I check the nav map, its about 5 nms away, the verge of eye sight especially at night.

................. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Unexpected shell fire is very disconcerting isn't it?

You'll have to ask Ducimus to know for sure, but I'll venture a guess.
A while back everyone begged and cajoled Ducimus to make the DD's fire at longer range. If the guns had a max range of 12,000yd, they should fire at 12,000yd............ You get the idea. So, I guess he gave them what they asked for. To answer your question, I don't think you broke anything. I would definately be careful on those night surface attacks now.
