Fort Drum (El Fraile Island), also known as the “concrete battleship,” is a heavily fortified island fortress situated at the mouth of Manila Bay in the Philippines, due south of Corregidor Island. It was occupied by the Japanese in World War II, and was recaptured by the U.S. after igniting oil and gasoline in the fort, leaving it permanently out of commission. Fort Drum was named for Brigadier General Richard C. Drum.[SIZE=2][1][/SIZE]
I actually heard about Corregidor but never heard that this fort drum or concrete island exist during WWII and this was an Island before it became a battleship look like.
