In 1942, the US Navy planned to replace the 8โณ/55 main batteries of the aircraft carriers USS Lexington (CV-2) and USS Saratoga (CV-3) with 5โณ/38 dual-purpose twin-gun mounts, which could be used in an anti-aircraft role. The Hawaiian Department, US Army, was interested in using the gun mounts as coastal artillery.
By 26 January 1942, all of Saratogaโs four 8โณ/55 mounts were removed from the vessel and presented to the Hawaiian Department. Whether the mounts were removed at Pearl Harbor or the Puget Sound Navy Yard remains unknown.
Lexingtonโs four gun mounts were removed from the ship at Pearl Harbor on 30 March 1942, and was presented to the Hawaiian Department four days later. Before 5โณ/38 mounts could be installed, Lexington was sunk during the Battle of the Coral Sea on 8 May 1942.
Due to time constraints the turrets were not dismantled and were turned over to the Army in their original form, together with spare parts and other materials. This was the first time naval turret mounts had been used as coastal artillery for the US. Battery Arizona would be another case, even though the battery was never completed.
Gun mounts removed from USS Lexington formed the Opaeula and Wilridge batteries, and those from USS Saratoga formed the Brodie and Salt Lake batteries.
Here are some statistics of the 8โณ/55 Mk 9 naval gun:
Weight: 30 tons
Length, overall: 449 inches
Projectile weight: 260 lbs AP, Mk 20
Propellant charge: 90 lbs NC
Muzzle velocity: 2,800 f/s
Maximum range: 31,860 yds, at 41ยฐ
Elevation: +41ยฐ/-5ยฐ
Loading angle: 5ยฐ
Rate of fire: 3-4 rounds per minute
Recoil: 29.65 inches
Approximate barrel life: 715 rounds
Elevating rate: 6ยฐ per second
Train rate: 3.5ยฐ per second
Twin mount weight: 187 tons
Some time later the batteries were renamed Battery Louis R. Burgess (ex-Salt Lake), Battery Ricker (ex-Brodie), Battery Riggs (ex-Opaeula) and Battery Kirkpatrick (ex-Wilridge).
The batteries were eventually demolished, with some parts remaining. An underground storage tank, BCS(Battery Commanderโs Station)/radar operating rooms and some other parts of the batteries remain today.
