Main armament: Two 45 cm. torpedotubes from the Norwegian torpedoboat "Skarv".
Ready for battle: May 1940
One of the first defencesystems built in the county after the
invasion of Norway. The battery was a concrete building with
the tubes mounted in it. For close defence it had a sMG and a
5,0 cm. Kwk. This was mounted on a bunker close by, but was
tactically under
HKB 15./981 Kirkeöen
only a few hundred meters away. For pictures of the Kwk. position
look at HKB 15./981 Kirkeöen.
The torpedobattery became a part of
MKB 7./504 Sognefjord's defences,
on the other side of the fjord after the war, but was closed down in 1954.
Today the site is easy accessible, and it is easy to find. The roof is halfway burned off, but
apart from that it is in reasonably good condition. At least it makes a perfect platform
for sports fishing.
