Fort Hancock is a former US Army fort. According to Wikipedia, “In 1893, Fort Hancock became the first place to have the nation’s first steam-lift gun battery [you've seen this!]. It also was important for the defense of the vital New York Harbor throughout World War II, trying to prevent the entrance of German submarines into the harbor.”
Those two missiles are Nike missiles. I’m not going to bother to identify them as Hercules or Ajax, but feel free to try it yourself!

it occurs to me that you have a fairly polite audience… especially since there are no jokes prominently featuring “fort hancock” and the army’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy… maybe also using nike’s “just do it” slogan for spice…

Yes, I’m glad I have an audience who wouldn’t think to mention jokes like that.
