[edit] Dangerous under artillery fire?

Would someone care to add a sentance of explanation for this? I can't see why it would make incoming artillery fire any more dangerous.

[edit] Mods to Decline Section

I deleted this paragraph because it doesn't seem pertinent to the topic:

"Also, major navies had already begun deploying a new class of warship named the torpedo boat destroyer (later shortened to "destroyer"). After the destroyer's successes against torpedo boats and the latter's demise as a tactical weapon, destroyers were primarily targeted against submarines, the use for which they are best known today."

The torpedo boat may have disappeared as a major torpedo-launching threat, but its disappearance was made up for by the submarine.
