In theory, I can see any ship with a (relatively) shallow draft (likely a Destroyer or Kaiboukan), having a bunch of these on-hand that could be placed on the ship's deck and used to support a land-invasion; a tactic that would not be unlike having artillery support for infantry forces as they push towards an objective.

This would, again, in theory, be more effective than relying on the ship's guns because there would be more of them (120mm mortar launchers are not necesasrily man-portable, but they aren't that big either) and each one could fire far more frequently.

But again, this is all theory and, well, the way I see it, we're so far into alternative history that we may as well just abandon the idea and embrace the fact that it's a setting that uses WWII designs on stuff because they look cool.

Not that there's anything wrong with this mind you, there are multiple titles (both anime and video game) that do this exact thing.
