Wrights Hill Fortress is a counter bombardment coastal artillery battery in the Karori suburb of Wellington, New Zealand. It was built between 1942 and 1944 and is predominantly underground, with numerous tunnels linking the war shelters, gun emplacements, magazines, plotting rooms and engine room - which are, at some points, over 50 feet underground. The fort was intended to house three 9.2" Mk. XV guns, but only two guns were installed and the fort never saw action. After World War II was over, fort commanders fired both of the guns (Gun number one in 1946 and the second in 1947). The fall of the shot was observed in Cook Strait and these test firings (three rounds on each occasion) were deemed a success. In 1960, somewhat ironically, both of the guns were sold to the Japanese as scrap m

rdfs:comment	Wrights Hill Fortress ist eine befestigte Küstenartilleriestellung im Vorort von Wellington in Neuseeland. Die Anlage wurde zwischen 1942 und 1947 erbaut und befindet sich größtenteils unter der Erde. Zahlreiche Tunnel verbinden Unterstände, Geschützstellungen, Lager, Räume zur Lagedarstellung und Maschinenraum. Teile der Anlage befinden sich 15 m unter der Erde. Die Befestigung sollte drei -Geschütze beherbergen, eingebaut wurden nur zwei. Das Fort wurde nie im Kampf aktiv. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden beide Geschütze je dreimal probeweise abgefeuert, Geschütz Nummer eins 1946 und Geschütz Nummer zwei 1947. Der Einschlag der Geschosse in der Cookstraße wurde beobachtet und die Testschüsse als Erfolg gewertet. 1960 wurden beide Geschütze als Schrott verkauft – ironischerweise an Japa (de) Wrights Hill Fortress is a counter bombardment coastal artillery battery in the Karori suburb of Wellington, New Zealand.
