Sounds about right to me. The only thing I can see guns being used for, other than shore bombardment, is finishing off targets. Missiles are the primary weapon for ships, now.

I know this but it's more common sense issues I'm worried about. One ship could have finished off a damaged frigate but chose to go a distance away before shooting a missile. It took unnecessary damage in the process.
