I also vote for naval artillery. IIRC, on D-Day we will see some daring skippers expose their craft to German land-based fire to support the landings.
Within range, naval gunfire is much more accurate than our bombers.

Random chance would almost be more accurate that our bombers.

If you think of a warship as a floating artillery battery, you realize how much punch they have. Even a destroyer is equivalent to a battery of heavy artillery. Add the mobility and the ability for rapid firing because of the loading machinery and it’s really no question.
