Navy Memorial: These 5-inch guns fit the bolt pattern found at Batteries A and C and may have been stationed there. Over the years, plaques and historical site markers have been added to the memorial site.

The wooden gooney bird carving was produced from a 30-foot mahogany log by a navy dentist, Lieutenant Commander Robert C. Cook, who was stationed on Midway. The 12-foot bird stands as a central attraction in the memorial historical center.

Both the 5 inch guns fired by the Marines and the giant gooney statue pay tribute to the resilience of the defenders of Midway and its native inhabitants respectively.
