On the outbreak of World War II the fort was rearmed with two 6 inches (15 cm) ex-naval guns and two searchlight batteries. The site was also used as a test launch site for rockets and experimental weapons.

Two gun positions were built to mount the ex-naval guns in their turrets. These were later protected with a "plastic" anti-aircraft roof. One position was built over the ruins of the old west battery and the other partly obscures the north west battery.
