The gun is unidentified, not even the internet has a mention of this memorial but presumable it is something that would have been found on the deck of the U.S.S. Arizona. There is a huge WW I memorial in the foreground. Across from this memorial is an anchor, also (probably) part of this memorial and a tribute to the Arizona. Both are painted white. They are all very close to the road and can easily be seen when walking or driving. Access is from sunup to sundown, unofficially, people hang out here all the time. These three pieces are the centerpiece of this park. There is not cost to visit and parking can be found at various metered locations which surround the park.
There is a dedication stone and plaque in front of the artillery piece. it reads:
In Dedication and remembrance to the U.S. Navy Seamen who gave their lives aboard the U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941.
