Yes. Generally referred to as artillery, most armies use a type of cannon known as a howitzer. Aircraft and tanks also use cannon.

Ships also carried cannon of large caliber including river boats that could travel the Mississippi and Tennesse Rivers to attack river forts. In the field, smaller cannons were used on carriages. There was also a "mountain howitzer" that could be easily transported by horse. Where were they used? Every battle had cannons.
