Blunts Point Battery, Artillery battery site at Matautu Ridge, American Samoa.
The Blunts Point Battery contains two 6-inch naval guns mounted within circular concrete structures positioned 200 feet above Pago Pago Harbor entrance.
In August 1941, the United States military conducted tests of the naval guns at Blunts Point by firing sixteen rounds at floating targets.
The battery represents the military involvement of American Samoa during World War II, when the territory served as a supply route to Australia.
The site features steep and rocky trails leading to concrete gun emplacements, with a magazine structure built into the surrounding hillside.
The battery stands as one of the few remaining Pacific coastal gun installations from World War II that maintains its original structural elements.
