Shore bombardment? Sure, but none of our enemies live on the coast. They learned to stay far away from the shorelines. If they didn't, there'll be marines kicking down their doors at night.

In a nutshell, almost any country that can pose a hazard to our health has a coastline. Anywhere from 25% to 50% of that country's economy is within 5 or 10 miles of the beach. Warehousing, shipping, factories, distribution centers shipyards and military bases.
Think about it.
