I removed the references tag, since I believe there are quite a few cited here, both in the text and in the lengthy captions to the photos and maps. Pgrig ( talk) 19:57, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
The observed fire scenario should be described as vulnerable to attack by ground troops such as enemy Marines who would likely come ashore and work to reduce the harbor's ability to defend itself. Marines would be expected to fight their way through defenders in order to spike guns and disable other shore defenses such as nets, torpedoes, mines, booby traps, etc. Binksternet ( talk) 17:09, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
This article needs a rewrite. Many parts of it seem to be very specific to Boston harbor, rather than about mine defense of U.S. harbors in general. Examples are always good but, in this case, there's so much example that the general picture is obscured. Dricherby ( talk) 12:17, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
