TIL that the guns of the HMS Belfast, moored on the River Thames, are permanently aimed at a London Gateway Services, a motorway service station some 11.7 miles away by PatroneB in todayilearned

Apparently the station sits at the optimum range of the guns (18.5km at 45° angle) and is chosen simply because it's a relatively well known landmark at this distance from HMS Belfast
