I can't say I agree entirely Rick. In their day a coastal gun emplacement was an effective means of controling harbor areas and natural landing sites. In an area where a defending force could be deployed in depth and a flanking movement by a landing force was not easily made they were pretty effective in preventing a landing. The big guns of Hitler's channel wall caused the Allied landing forces a lot of headaches on D Day. Consider one of the more famous ones at Pont Du Hoc in Normandy. As the pictures show it took a huge amount of aeral bombing and naval gunfire to knock it out of action. Also, they could not be turned upon the defenders like mobile gun emplacements sometimes were. And, it was not hard to destroy the breech of a gun to render them useless to the attackers. Now in a situation like the Brits at so called "Fortress Singapore" they did not have the ability to deploy in depth so the Japanese simply rolled the Brit forces up from behind and conquered that place in pretty short order without the big coastal guns ever firing a shot.
