The United States Naval Academy textbook Sea Power by E. B. Potter and Chester W. Nimitz (Prentice-Hall 1960) states on page 252: "Traditionally, one gun in a fort was reckoned 'equal' to four or five guns of similar caliber afloat in a sailing vessel." Thewellman ( talk) 07:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
In the United States, using "Coastal Artillery" was only but for a very short term. During most of the time that this branch existed in the United States, the units and the branch was "Coast Artillery." Shouldn't this be reflected? Also, shouldn't there be a history of the branch in each country? I could do something about United States Coast Artillery. Flyer333555 ( talk) 21:11, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
In the United Kingdom it is certainly "Coast Artillery" and "Coast Battery". "Coastal defences" is often used as a general descriptive term but this is not ideal since it is also a phrase used to describe defences against erosion. Indeed, the author and former Royal Artillery officer Ian V. Hogg uses "Coast defence". (see Coast Defences of England and Wales, 1856-1956, Ian V. Hogg, 1974 ISBN 0715363530). Individual batteries are referred to with their number as a prefix, for example "141 Coast Battery". Fine Hid ( talk) 08:57, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
