Military Bunker - Battery Russell - Ft. Stevens Oregon

Purchase Print

Pictured is the ammunition bunker of Battery Russel, which was built at Fort Stevens along the Oregon coast, in 1904. It was operational up through 1944, only months before the end of World War II. Battery Russell was named for Major General David Russell, who fought in and died during the Civil War. Battery Russell and Fort Stevens were the only stateside military installations attacked by enemy forces since the Battle of 1812. A Japanese submarine fired more than a dozen shells at the Fort, but caused no damage. Battery Russell was unable to return fire, because its guns were unable to match the range of the Japanese submarine. This ultimately led to the battery’s decommissioning and replacement by Battery 245, which had longer range guns.
