La Monja Island in Manila Bay almost had big 16 inch guns. I recently made a mistake and called this island El Fraile; IT IS LA MONJA! Zbcdsg043. La Monja Island, Manila Bay off Mariveles Harbor, from CSDG. La Monja Island, Manila Bay off Mariveles Harbor, given to me Glen Williford, a leader in the Coastal Defense Study Group (CDSG). The original picture name was: Pcon-111 77F Monja 1902-p18b7pos0v17ke16h1bo5m7fefc. Then I discovered that three important pictures in this thread which were posted by batteryboy, Tony Feredo, were blocked by Photobucket! That is corrected now but I show one of those important images here again in this repley. You may want to read the whole thread; it is lively discussion about big guns on La Monja Island. Za245. Plan to install 16 inch guns on Monja Island. From Tony Feredo. This plan was provided by batteryboy, Tony Feredo, and he said this: There was land defense plan in 1919 to install two powerful 16-inch Army guns encased in turrets (similar) to Fort Drum but the plan was shelved after the signing of the treaty of the super powers after WWI.
