Fort Drum, or the "Concrete Battleship," was a heavily fortified island in Manila Bay, Philippines, constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (1909–1918) by leveling El Fraile Island. Resembling a battleship, it featured 25-36 foot thick concrete walls, four 14-inch guns in armored turrets, and defended the bay against Japan in WWII before being recaptured in 1945. The site remains a prominent example of early 20th-century military engineering designed to resemble a warship. - Literacy Cor
