As a retired navy cpo, I must point out this is actually a myth. Check out this website. Way to indepth for me but the pix tell the story.
Do Battleships move sideways when they fire?
Just go to Don's Guns, you will see the most expensive of any gun you have ever seen.

But he told me he doesn't want to make money, he just loves to sell guns. $1400 for a Taurus isn't normal?
Yeah you would have it, but not take it out and shoot itI'd pay it....just to say I have one...lol

Probably one of the 16" guns on the USS New Jersey. They fire a 2,200 pound projectile 28 miles and there are 9 of them on each Iowa class battleship. I was on R&R in Hawaii when the New Jersey pulled in to Pearl Harbor on her way over to Nam. They had an open house and we got to tour the ship.
During the First Gulf War, my oldest son was aboard the USS Wisconsin operating the radar for the 16" guns. He sent me a photo taken at dusk at the Wisconsin fired all 9 guns brdadside. Great photo. (look at the shock waves on the surface)
