<upd_detl>Not trying to remove entries just for the sake of it.  

片舷斉射 entry was the most common form I found on the now-deleted 半舷砲 entry. 

reverso translates this as "broadside", and also doesn't seem to have any better Japanese translations for broadside in reference to firing guns from a battleship.

if you search google for "片舷斉射" and "broadside" (or "fire a broadside") together,  you'll see this noted in various references.

dictionary references report this as をする, and examples also use を行う, neither of which we have notes for. (ngrams agree)

deleted reference was "broadside fire", but it appears that the english gloss should just be "broadside", with 片舷斉射をする becoming "fire a broadside". The simple gloss would then need some clarification in an [expl] or parens. The [expl] feels like the most readily comprehensible approach, but maybe is more verbose than we'd like.

More general and figurative uses of "broadside" appears to be handled by 一斉攻撃. ("b(悪口の)一斉攻撃.").  

I initially simplified "a firing of all guns" to "firing all guns".... but I guess a "broadside" is in fact a single volley.</upd_detl>

noun: broadside; plural noun: broadsides
1.a fierce verbal attack.
2.
HISTORICAL
a. a firing of all the guns from one side of a warship. &lt;- 片舷斉射 is only this one
b. the set of guns which can fire on each side of a warship.
c. the side of a ship above the water between the bow and quarter.

Actually have several reverso instances of this one.  This seems to be the correct term for the battleship usage.

 	The battleship fired a broadside on the enemy ship.
 

Here is a completely modern manga reference. If the subject is historic naval warfare, this seems to be a relevant term.
