Although you've seen it on Hawaii Five-O or more recently on Lost (Sayid's Military Scenes); it's been in many movies. Ft Ruger is better known as Diamond Head. Most of the hardware has been removed but the same mortar battery design can be seen in Corregidor Island, Philippines, where the mortars were left in place with bullet indents from aircraft strafing. Not open to the public. You must UE. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Entrance to the crater. 6. 7. Mortar position not yet cemented over. 8. Mechanical elevation and azimuth indicators for mortar crews. Operated by cables and pulleys from the forward observer. 9. 10. 11. 12. Mortar positions cemented over and tubes removed. 13. Corregidor: just to give you an idea how big the mortars are.

There are also Nike control bunkers on the north shore near behind Dillingham. The beach there is where "Lost" was filmed. Man builds, man abandons, we EXPLORE!

Oddly enough, I lived only about fifteen minutes from Diamond Head my whole life and never thought to explore the bunkers there. It's normally dry and I'd always be more interested in the bunkers located in the greener mountain areas. This summer I'll be returning to Hawaii and will try to investigate.

It's normally dry and I'd always be more interested in the bunkers located in the greener mountain areas. This summer I'll be returning to Hawaii and will try to investigate. Same thing happened to me. I lived a mile away from a Nike Missile battery in Brea, CA. I visited Ft McArthur before it became a museum and then after it was a museum and didn't know of another mortar battery north about 1/4 of a mile on the north side of McArthur.
