Battery Langdon
Pensacola, Florida (FL), US
1917-1947 - Two 12-inch rifles. Langdon was first built as two open firing platforms. (see diagram right)

During WWII, Langdon's 12-inch rifles were roofed with 17-foot thick concrete casements. But amphibious and missile warfare made harbor defense guns obsolete.
