Notes
  • Significance: This antiaircraft battery command center and its gun emplacements are associated with the hasty construction of nine 5-inch antiaircraft defensive positions in the months after the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, when an invasion of Oahu was thought to be imminent. Some of the 5-inch guns and gun directors used in the batteries were salvaged from ships damaged and/or sunk during the attack, possibly including the 5-inch guns of this battery
  • Survey number: HAER HI-85-A
  • Building/structure dates: 1943 Initial Construction
