Fort Drum is a very heavily fortified island, sometimes called a "concrete battleship", located at the mouth of the Manila Bay, south of Corregidor Island. Fort Drum was built for the needs of the US Navy after the Spanish-American War (1898). Its construction began in 1909 and was completed 5 years later - in 1914. The facility was to be one of the elements of the maritime defense of the Manila seaport. At the time of commissioning, the main armament of Fort Drum consisted of 4 356 mm guns in 2 double, rotating turrets. The additional armament was 4 152 mm guns and 76 mm anti-aircraft guns. The fort was built of walls 7.6 to 11 meters thick, and the ceiling was 6.0-6.1 meters thick. You can find information that due to the armament and the thickness of the walls made of reinforced concrete, Fort Drum was almost unattainable by sea attack at the time of commissioning. Naturally, it was besieged by the Japanese from February to May 1942, but was not seized by them as a result of a specific attack or assault, and as a result of the evacuation of the crew. The fort was recaptured by the Americans in 1945. Fort Drum has no military function at the moment.
