Battery Davis was erected in 1936 and its 16-inch gun could shoot over 25 miles out into the Pacific Ocean, according to the National Park Service website. It was home to SF-59, one of 12 Nike missile defense sites in the Bay Area during the Cold War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
