Named for Revolutionary War hero, General Francis Nash, Battery Nash was the main armament guarding Rich Passage, the main entrance to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, WA.
Battery Nash was a 3 gun emplacement of 8" D.C. (Disapearing Carrage) guns. Unlike most, (if not all), of the other Puget Sound Coastal Artillery sites, Battery Nash is now private property.
I first discovered Battery Nash when I was 17, and a friend took me there. It was pretty impressive to walk though a forest and suddenly come upon a 30 foot high wall of concrete.
