== Battery 201 ==

Construction began on Battery 201 in 1942 and it was completed in 1944 unarmed. This battery had two 6-inch shieled guns on barbette carriages. This battery was designated Battery #1 on defense charts and was proposed to be named Battery Fesseden. Fire Control Stations for this battery were located at [[Fletchers Neck MR]], [[Prouts Neck MR]], [[Cape Elizabeth MR]], [[Fort Levett]] and [[Jewell Island MR]]. The battery would have had a range of 15 miles and 5 rounds of shells weighing 105lbs could be shot per minute. In 1946 the battery was abandoned by the coast artillery.<center><gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="75">
