Oryoku Maru Gun
Olongapo City, Philippines
A salvaged anti-aircraft gun from a troops & PoWs transport ship named "Oryoku Maru". Japanese PoW ships are often reffered to as "hell ships", due to their notoriously unpleasant conditions and the many deaths that occured on board. In December 1944, the ship was bombed by American aircraft, killing 200 Allied PoWs. Hundreds more died in the months that followed.
