Battery Bloomfield (1899-1943) - Battery Bloomfield was a reinforced concrete, Endicott Period 12 inch coastal gun battery on Fort Hancock, New Jersey. The battery was named in G.O. 194, 27 Dec 1904, after BG Joseph Bloomfield, U.S. Army, who served with distinction during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, and who died 3 Oct 1832. The two gun emplacements of his battery were part of the nine gun emplacements of the main gun line built at Fort Hancock (2) and originally called Battery Halleck. The main gun line was later divided into four named batteries by G.O. 194, 27 Dec 1904 (Battery Halleck, Battery Alexander, Battery Bloomfield and Battery Richardson). Battery construction started in 1898 was completed in 1899 and transferred to the Coastal Artillery for use 20 Dec 1899 at a cost of $ 94,227.89. Deactivated in 1943.
Fort Hancock is a former United States Army fort at Sandy Hook, located in Middletown Township in Monmouth County, along the Atlantic coast of eastern New Jersey in the United States. This coastal artillery base played an important part in the defense of New York Harbor and played a role in the history of New Jersey. Between 1874 and 1919, Fort Hancock was operated in conjunction with the Army's Sandy Hook Proving Ground.
In 1893, Fort Hancock installed Battery Potter, the nation's first disappearing gun battery. It also was important for the defense of the vital New York Harbor throughout World War II, preventing the entrance of German submarines into the harbor. In the late 1950s Project Nike antiaircraft missiles were based there. Fort Hancock was decommissioned in 1974.
The fort and its small museum are managed as part of the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area, and is part of National Parks of New York Harbor unit of the National Park System.
