The effect of repeated concussive impacts all around you would be mind numbing.
It's one of those things that is largely unfathomable by us civilians, and for most military personnel to some extent. Even if you've been on an active artillery range, it doesn't prepare your mind or body for the real world application of artillery an artillery barrage. I'm going to assume that naval cannons provide the same impact. The psychology of shell shock is no joke.
