This video explores the Momi Bay Gun Battery in Fiji, a coastal defense emplacement constructed in the late 1930s as part of British preparations during World War Two. The battery features two restored 6-inch MkVII naval guns, which were the primary armament for defending the strategic approaches to western Fiji. The video details the battery's history, its role in the war effort (including a single instance of firing at an unidentified sonar contact), and its current status as a public museum. It also touches on Fiji's broader importance as a transportation hub and R&R location during the conflict, and its subsequent development into a tourist destination.
