Naval guns dont kill civilians ?

Okay, i am severely bombarding the carribean with my DDX-21 navy,which is sitting by the coast of florida.

They are pretty much cleaning the island of all enemy forces at a very high rate.

During this i noticed i wasnt getting any casualty reports of carribean civilians .

So i looked over the enemy units placement and as i expected many of them are being blown to dust while in carribean cities and facitlites.

Shouldnt the naval gun bombardment being damaging the building/cities/ etc.. and causing heavy civilian casualties just like artillary does ?

I know that if you bombard the actual city, they will die quite fast, but I don't know if bombarding units will kill civilians in the process. I leveled the capital of Europe in a few short days using my DDX's, killed maybe 5 million people.

Only if the attack is indirect. The only ship that we game indirect attack to (if I remember right) is the Iowa for its 16" guns. The regular naval guns are not big enough to damage a stack of battalions which is the key effect of indirect attacks.
