During WWII, what was the longest distance that one ship’s guns successfully hit another vessel?

I was thinking in terms of an "average" range for gunfire & guessed wrong. I didn't realize they were looking for the "record" as the answer. No, I'm not blaming the question for getting it wrong - I just mis-interpreted the question.

my boyfriend will love this info!! He is a WW2 addict. He may already know this, we will see!!
