Steel Fort in Sea Guards Approaches to Britain

Item

In a steel island fort built up from the sea floor several miles off the coast, a Royal Artillery regiment stands constant guard over the sea approaches to Britain. Big gun turrets fan out in every direction, and searchlights are ready to point the finger at enemy ships or aircraft. The walls are of heavy armor steel. High seas often cut the fort off from contact with the mainland, but despite the limited accommodations and monotonous existence, morale is high.
