You mean coastal defense.  But I think barracks is logical enough.  Besides, 
I am only reproducing the disasters in PayCiv.  See
http://arch.freeciv.org/freeciv-dev-200002/msg00168.html.

I am aware of the 3 kinds of barracks.  For now it has to be treated as a 
special case because there is nothing in the rulesets that indicates they 
are pretty much the same thing.
BTW, River has also to be treated carefully because it's not a terrain type 
in Civ2, but a special type of terrain special.

You are probably right there.  But again that was just the original.  In any 
case, once the code is in place, it's trivial to customize.
