The Former Japanese Navy Fongshan Communication Center (Шаблон:Zh) was one of the three radio stations operated in Taiwan by the former Imperial Japanese Navy located in Fengshan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.[1][2]

History

Шаблон:Stack

The radio station was built in 1919, the first to be constructed in Taiwan by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Despite the military nature of the station, it was primarily used for civilian communication. After a major mechanical failure threatened maritime safety, the Japanese built another radio station at Sankaiseki (Sankuaico)Шаблон:Efn and consolidated it with the Hozan (Fongshan)Шаблон:Efn station into the TakaoШаблон:Efn Communication Unit in 1937. When the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out soon after, the Takao Communication Unit was used to maintain the south west Pacific communications of the Empire of Japan. It was also used as tactical radio to jam and monitor American and British movements on the sea and in the air.

After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, the station was taken over by the Republic of China Navy and converted it into a navy boarding house. Over the next decade, the boarding house was used by the navy as an interrogation facility for servicemen accused of political crimes. In 1976, it became the Mingde Disciplinary Camp of the navy, where persistent disobedient servicemen were imprisoned. When the camp was decommissioned, it was turned into the Kaohsiung Military Dependent's Village Cultural Association.
