STOP #4 JAPANESE 5” GUNS - As you approach the north shore, or ocean side, you will see an increasing number of fortifications. Continue on Speedball Road until you reach the best surviving example of a large gun position on either Roi-Namur or Kwajalein. As you stand behind this Japanese five-inch gun position and look seaward, you hold the view of the Japanese defenders who were waiting for an ocean side attack that never came. This emplacement is part of a complex that supported two gun positions. As you look seaward, you will notice the remains of a fire direction mount that serviced two gun emplacements. On your left are the remains of a structure similar to the one at which you are standing. The guns lying on the ground were recovered from the reef in 1999. To your left rear is the ammunition storage facility for these guns. Continue on Speedball Road to Pandanus Road and the battlefield marker located next to Building 8176.
