Summary edit

Description

Al estallar la Guerra Civil Española, el bando nacional instaló en Cabo Silleiro, en Bayona (Galicia, España), una base de artillería de costa que fue equipada inicialmente, por lo que he podido averiguar, con dos cañones navales británicos Vickers de 101,6mm. No he encontrado datos sobre la fecha de instalación de los cañones actuales, pero son cuatro Vickers 152,4/50 Modelo 1923, construidos en España por la Sociedad Española de Construccion Naval en Reinosa (Cantabria).

La base militar, denominada oficialmente "Batería J-4 Cabo Silleiro", dejó de usarse a finales de la década de 1980 y los cañones fueron sellados e inutilizados. Aunque suprimió la zona de seguridad de estas instalaciones militares el 22 de julio de 1998, el Ministerio de Defensa todavía conserva la propiedad de los terrenos, aunque tanto el cuartel como los túneles subterráneos están abandonados y destrozados por el vandalismo.

Battery J-4 Cabo Silleiro. When the Spanish Civil war exploded, the national decree installed in Cape Silleiro, in Bayona (Galicia, Spain), a base of artillery of coast that there was equipped initially, for what I could have quarrelled, with two naval British cannons Vickers of 101,6mm. I have not found information on the date of installation of the current cannons, but they are four Vickers 152,4/50 Model 1923, constructed in Spain by the Spanish Society of Naval Construction in Reinosa (Cantabria).

The military base, named officially "Battery J-4 Cabo Silleiro", stopped being used at the end of the decade of 1980 and the cannons were sealed and rendered useless. While deleting the security zone of the military facilities on July 22, 1998, the Defense Ministry still retains ownership of the land, although both the barracks and underground tunnels are abandoned and destroyed by vandalism.
