Actually even that is a little short. The longest hit ever made on a moving target was by Scharnhorst on HMS Glorious at 26,465 yards, or 24,200 metres. You're right, they almost certainly wouldn't shoot at a submarine at that range, firstly because subs sit lower in the water and are harder to see, and secondly because they wouldn't waste their big-gun ammo on a target so hard to hit. On the other hand the US battleships Iowa and New Jersey did try to hit the Japanese destroyer Nowaki at more than 35,000 yards, or 32,000 metres, so you never know for sure what they'll actually do.
