Title

I called this 'bombing' of S/H/W because that was the name I was most familiar with from growing up in the area. Alternatives are 'bombardment' (unnecessary, I think) and 'raid [on]'. The latter is how at least one historical source - and Wikipedia - refer to it. John Stephenson 02:46, 6 March 2008 (CST)

How about "shelling" instead of "bombing"? The latter I find misleading because it implies (to me, at least) an air attack, whereas this was gunfire from ships. J. Noel Chiappa 13:25, 18 March 2008 (CDT)
