Battery 223, located in Cape May Point, New Jersey, was a reinforced concrete coastal gun battery that served during World War II. Constructed in 1942 and completed in 1943, the battery featured two 6-inch T2 rapid-fire guns mounted on M3 Shielded Barbette Carriages. It played a crucial role in the Harbor Defense of the Delaware, firing armor-piercing projectiles with a range of over 15 miles. Deactivated in 1947, Battery 223 now stands as a historical site within Cape May Point State Park.
