592:, none of these regiments completed training in time to see action. By 1917, pedestal mounts for 6-inch guns (all of them M1900 weapons) were known to be superior to disappearing mounts, being able to more rapidly track targets with a faster rate of fire. Thus, most disappearing guns (except the M1897, shorter than the others) were dismounted for use as field guns, while most of the few pedestal guns dismounted were returned to the forts soon after the war. The removed 6-inch disappearing guns (primarily M1903 and M1905) were stored and many were returned to service in World War II. The Army weapons removed included up to 18 M1900 guns and 74 M1903 and M1905 guns based on carriages ordered (M1917A carriages for the M1900 weapons, M1917 carriages for the M1903/M1905 weapons). One source states that four M1900 guns and 68 M1903/M1905 guns arrived in France. An additional 46 6-inch guns of other types were provided by the Navy and 30 ex-Navy guns from arms dealer

caliber ex-Navy guns were mounted in the year after Pearl Harbor to provide some defense while the new batteries were under construction; locations included Alaska, American Samoa, and
Suriname (formerly Dutch Guiana) among others. Some of the M1900 weapons on pedestal mounts were retained in service or relocated to better positions during the war, but the disappearing guns were mostly scrapped by 1944. Following World War II the entire coast defense system, including almost all of the 6-inch guns, was scrapped.
