The Advanced Redoubt is a brick fort constructed between 1845 and 1870 to support Fort Barrancas in covering the land approach to the US Navy Yard, which had been built nearby. Obsolete by the end of the American Civil War in 1865, but completed anyway because military engineers could not yet offer a better design. The fort never received its cannon or get a formal name. It's only action was a Confederate skirmish with the Union garrison in 1863. Now a historical relic and museum. Inside Pensacola Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida.
