Album Info:
As with the other batteries at Fort Mills (Corregidor Island), Crocket saw extensive service during the early stages of the Pacific War. Major damage to the battery was done by a 240mm barrage on April 24, 1942, resulting in permanently damaging one gun (a direct hit on the recoil cylinder of #1 Gun) and starting fires in the shot hoists.
