	Construction on this casemented 16-inch battery began in 1942 and was completed by 1944. It is located at Frost Point and was the largest guns to defend Portsmouth. The battery construction number was 103 but it was renamed to honor Colonel Claudius M. ~~Seamen. The 25-mile range of the guns meant that Fire Control Towers needed to be used~~. This Battery was designated Battery #2 on defense charts. ~~They were located all the way from Halibut Point Massachusetts to Great Hill in Maine.~~ It was painted to blend in with the surrounding environment and remnant of the paint can be seen today. ~~Similar to Battery 204 the Battery commanders' station was built atop the battery and was a side-by-side station for the Gun Group G1.~~ A concrete Gun Group 1 building is located behind the battery. Due to the shock from the firing of these guns' larger caliber batteries like this one were designed to have the plotting room a separate reinforced concrete casement covered with earth. Like battery 204 Anti-Aircraft and Machine guns were located around the battery. Shields were added to the guns in 1946. During the only test firing of the gun in 1944 the shock from the gun damaged many windows of houses nearby but most notably of the Wentworth Hotel in New Castle.

	The Battery 103 PSR or Plotting, Switchboard and Radio room was built in 1943. Its purpose was to provide gun operators with range data to take an effective shot at enemy vessels. This was done using a series of ~~Fire Control/~~Base-End Stations that would have instruments for getting the locations of enemy ships. Once two different towers spot the enemy ship in question, the plotting room marks the ranges on a plotting board which triangulates the location of the vessel. Once that is complete the data is sent to the gun operators. Tide and weather conditions were also factored in to ensure the most accurate shot possible. This plotting room had 12 rooms and was air conditioned and gas proofed. It was deactivated in 1947.<gallery mode="nolines">		The Battery 103 PSR or Plotting, Switchboard and Radio room was built in 1943.

	The Gun Group 1 Command Post (G-1 CP) was completed in 1943. It served as a command-and-control position for the six-inch batteries of Portsmouth Harbor (Battery 204 and Battery 205). It was operated by officers who would work with gun crews and the HECP to determine the best course of action when dealing with firing the guns. This command post was complimented with a Gun Group 1 Observation Post (G-1 OP) on top of Battery 103. Communication between the observation post and command post would be via EE-91 ~~telephone~~. This station was deactivated around 1947 when the six-inch batteries were deactivated.		The Gun Group 1 Command Post (G-1 CP) was completed in 1943.

	Located in Rye New Hampshire the first military installations were built during WW1 which included a fire control station 1917 and searchlights 1920. Fort Dearborn was built as a WW2 fortification for the [[:Category:Harbor Defenses of Portsmouth\|Harbor Defenses of Portsmouth]]. No other existing Endicott fort could meet the new defense needs (Fort Foster had room for one battery). So, it was decided in 1942 that the land between Odiorne's Point and Frost Point would become the newest addition to Portsmouth defenses. In order to get this land, they would need to remove the current residents and dwellings. In 1942 the residents were given thirty days to pack their belongings and go elsewhere giving the government took the first 200 acres of the reservation in 1943 (The second parcel was acquired later that year bringing the property to about 264 acres). The reservation was officially named Fort Dearborn in 1943 for Henry Dearborn. During this time the coastal highway would be closed for the fort and did not reopen until 1946. The first battery of four 155mm guns was built in 1942 while the others were under construction. All WW2 Post structures were demolished after the war aside from the TNT Building and a couple remaining summer houses. The section of the reservation with Battery 204 was designated Location 143 and the section with Battery 103 and the Gun-Group Command Post was designated Location 144.<center><gallery ~~widths~~="~~150~~" ~~heights~~="~~150~~" caption="Fort Dearborn">		Located in Rye New Hampshire the first military installations were built during WW1 which included a fire control station 1917 and searchlights 1920.

	Built in 1942 as a temporary battery of 155mm guns it was only used for the initial construction of the main batteries. Four magazines and a battery commanders' station were built behind the emplacements and removed when the main batteries were finished in 1944.

	Construction started in 1942 on this six-inch battery located at Odiorne's Point behind the 155mm battery. Two shielded barbette guns were located on either side of a magazine structure covered with earth. The battery was completed in 1944 and had a battery commanders station built on top and accessed via a ladder from the magazines. The proposed name for this battery was to be Battery M. H. Barry but it was not formally named. This Battery IS LISTED bATTERY #1 on defense charts. Around the structure were various Anti-Aircraft guns and Machine Guns. The battery remained active until the wars end in 1945. Today it is closed due to Asbestos and an endangered bat species who is living in the battery.<center><gallery ~~widths~~="~~140~~" ~~heights~~="~~140~~" caption="Battery 204">		Construction started in 1942 on this six-inch battery located at Odiorne's Point behind the 155mm battery.

	Construction on this casemented 16-inch battery began in 1942 and was completed by 1944. It is located at Frost Point and was the largest guns to defend Portsmouth. The battery construction number was 103 but it was renamed to honor Colonel Claudius M. Seamen. The 25-mile range of the guns meant that Fire Control Towers needed to be used. This Battery was designated Battery #2 on defense charts. They were located all the way from Halibut Point Massachusetts to Great Hill in Maine. It was painted to blend in with the surrounding environment and remnant of the paint can be seen today. Similar to Battery 204 the Battery commanders' station was built atop the battery and was a side-by-side station for the Gun Group G1. A concrete Gun Group 1 building is located behind the battery. Due to the shock from the firing of these guns' larger caliber batteries like this one were designed to have the plotting room a separate reinforced concrete casement covered with earth. Like battery 204 Anti-Aircraft and Machine guns were located around the battery. Shields were added to the guns in 1946. During the only test firing of the gun in 1944 the shock from the gun damaged many windows of houses nearby but most notably of the Wentworth Hotel in New Castle. After the test firing the battery was but into caretaker status.<center><gallery caption="Battery 103/Seamen">		Construction on this casemented 16-inch battery began in 1942 and was completed by 1944.
