Fort Stevens State Park, OR

Battery Russell was installed in 1904 as part of the harbor defense of the Columbia River. Two 10" rifles on disappearing carriages were installed in 1907. It was determined that the range of 12" rifles would be a better fit, but it was too late to make upgrades to the initial installation. The battery was deactivated in 1944.

Battery Russell had the distinction of being the only stateside installation attacked by enemy forces since the war of 1812 when a Japanese submarine I-25 fired 17 shells close to Battery Russell. The Battery did not return the fire because the submarine was out of range of its older guns. The submarine left without inflicting any damage.
