The North has said the artillery attack on Yeonpyeong was in retaliation for a South Korean live-fire exercise which dropped shells into waters claimed by Pyongyang. The Marine Corps spokesman said the planned live-fire drill - which involves all artillery deployed in the area including K-9 self-propelled guns - is part of its regular exercises. Pyongyang has taken a hostile tone towards Seoul since Kim Jong-Un, the youngest son of the late leader Kim Jong-Il, took over following the death of his father in December. Yonhap news agency quoted a Joint Chiefs of Staff official as saying: "If North Korea provokes, we will hit back from the standpoint of exercising our right to self-defence. "There is nothing special or new in the drill for this month compared to past ones. The 2010 attack briefly sparked fears of war and triggered a major South Korean military build-up on the islands.Source: Courier Mail

Just like the title says. Idk if these anti aircraft guns are manned are not but im sure there are automatic ones. So how do they distinguish?
There are no true AA guns in use any more...almost everyone uses AAMs (missiles). What guns remain on ships are either intended for ground support or CIWS (to shoot down incoming missiles in the case of the Phalanx).

I know battleships are a thing of the past these days but I love naval history.
What was the last true naval battle, with fleets of ships (or maybe just two battleships!) basically firing their guns at one another?
My guess
I do not what planet sharpnerp is on, the battle of the Bismark was the last battleship encounter between Bismark and King George the Fifth also the Rodney the Bismark was finally dispatched by torpedoes from a destroyer when totally wrecked.

Today, PJ Utara MP Tony Pua and Klang MP Charles Santiago demanded that the government explain why it was willing to spend so much for the offshore patrol vessels (OPVs). “The Royal New Zealand Navy took delivery of its 85-metre, 1500-tonne OPVs from BAE Systems last year at the cost of RM210 million each,” he said, adding that those boats were equipped for maritime counter-terrorism, surveillance, reconnaissance... He made his comment on Twitter almost as soon as Defence Minister Zahid Hamidi made the announcement last Saturday. PETALING JAYA: The government’s decision to spend RM6 billion for six navy patrol boats continues to draw fire from DAP representatives....
