It was quite common for naval guns of 6" and greater for then to have separate shells and power charges. This was basically the same gun used on the Omaha class CL. With a 105lb shell and a 44lb propellent charge it w be pretty hard to man-handle as a single piece.

Not sure, the wikipedia artical for Nautilus said that on her second war patrol she

she provided gunfire support against enemy positions at Ukiangong Point on Butaritari and shelled enemy ships in the lagoon, sinking two, a troop barge and a patrol boat.

I don't know if a patrol boat counts as a warship.
