Japanese Searchlight Photograph

Part of Japanese defenses, this concrete structure and searchlight was located on Eniwetok or Betio.  Since Betio was so heavily defended, it is believed that this structure was on Eniwetok since it would have been unlikely to survive the intense naval bombardment that Betio received.
