This area was used for harbor defenses during the war. It was named after Brigadier General William H. Emory in 1942. The area was turned over to the Navy in 1947 which has converted the gun bunkers, Battery 134 and Battery Grant (#239), into a Naval radio receiving station. All gun batteries still exist, though overgrown somewhat. Access to the area is very restricted, though the hills of the two 1940 constructions are readily visible from outside the gates.
