		Over the years the fort grew and matured, and eventually served as the British Empire's strategic naval defense of Singapore in World War II, as the most likely attack from the Japanese would come from the sea.
		Of course, the Japanese are tricky, and instead came by land, rendering the fort's powerful naval cannons essentially impotent against the advancing forces (they're like rifles, whereas they needed shotguns).
		Regardless, the defenses at Fort Siloso are remarkably well preserved, especially its underground bunkers and ammunition depots.

		Sentosa is the fourth largest island of Singapore, located off the southern coast of the main island.
		It hosts a sheltered beach of more than 2 km in length on its southern coast, a musical fountain replete with the latest lighting display technologies, and historical fortifications in Fort Siloso, dating from World War II.
		Sentosa was known in the immediate years after World War II as Pulau Blakang Mati, roughly translated from Malay as the Island of Death from Behind, because most of the defending artillery guns in Fort Siloso then were pointed to the south, facing the sea in expectation of a seaward Japanese assault.
