Former Japanese Lighthouse Navy Hill

(Micronesia - Saipan - Saipan)

This lighthouse was built by the Japanese during the '30s. It was severely damaged by U.S. warships during the Battle of Saipan in 1944, but Seebees repaired the lighthouse shortly after the battle so it could be used as U.S. Navy communication center.
