Fort Greene (Narragansett, Rhode Island)

Fort Greene is a United States Army Reserve installation in the Point Judith area of Narragansett, Rhode Island.[1] Fort Greene was built as part of a general modernization of US coast defenses, begun in 1940 with the outbreak of war in Europe and the Fall of France.The goal was to replace all previous heavy weapons, most of which were over 35 years old, with long-range ex-Navy 16"/50 caliber Mark 2 guns.A former 16-inch gun battery (BCN 109), which was never armed, is in the campground of Fishermen's Memorial State Park on the former west reservation, along with a Plotting, Switchboard, and Radio (PSR) bunker housing a plotting room as part of the Coast Artillery fire control system.[4] The former 6-inch gun battery (BCN 211) remains near Point Judith Light, on the former south reservation, also part of the state park.
