During World War II, the 155mm gun was widely used as a harbor defense weapon across many Coast Artillery installations throughout the United States. This one was never installed at Fort Stevens, although two similar to this were mounted nearby in North Cove, Washington. The projectiles fired by this gun were quite heavy, weighing approximately 95 pounds each, and had an impressive range of nearly 11 miles.
