Johore battery, Military museum in Changi, Singapore.

Three substantial naval guns formed this British coastal artillery battery, with one replica gun and ammunition shell currently standing at the original location.

The battery received its name from Sultan Ibrahim of Johor, who provided 500,000 pounds to support the British military defense installations in 1939.

The site serves as a permanent reminder of Singapore's defense heritage, featuring marked paths that trace the former ammunition storage tunnels network.

Visitors can explore the military installation at 27 Cosford Road from Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM without admission charges.

These guns measured 16.5 meters in length and could rotate completely, making them the largest land-based naval artillery pieces outside Britain during World War II.
