The remains of a Japanese dual mount Type 89 12.7 cm (5") anti-aircraft gun located on Sohkes Mountain Ridge overlooking the harbor on Pohnpei Island. As the largest island in the Caroline Islands with an excellent harbor and two airfields, Pohnpei was heavily defended by the Japanese during World War II. A similar anti-aircraft gun is located nearby along with a 6" coast artillery gun. Although subjected to repeated Allied air attacks, the island was bypassed during the Allied campaign in the Central Pacific and the island remained in Japanese hands until the end of World War II.
