ya, but I suppose he would know what he is talking about.

German 88's used a shell casing, as did some destroyers heaviest guns.

In one sailors memoirs, which he wrote not too long ago, he recalls hearing the clanging of shell casing while on shore, from a destroyer just off the coast, though faint. (obviously between shots)

It may be possible that he heard them origionate from somewhere else, but it seems doubtful

Naval 5" guns used shells casings. Large caliber guns did not.
