From 1941 to 1944, two US 8-inch M1888 railway guns dismounted on M1918 barbette carriages were located here, as well as an AA battery. American crews provided technical support only. Battery site still exists, but no public access. Located at the Rocky Point Naval Establishment. To the west at Church Hill was the Naval signal station. Two independent fire-control towers for this battery were once located at Church Hill and at Beechy Head.
