These structures serve as excellent examples of ammunition wharfs constructed by the U.S. Navy during the 1930s. They are significant for their association with the development of the Naval Magazine at West Loch, and the role they played on December 7, 1941. The wharfs have served an important and continuous role at the installation since their completion. They are also significant as their design, materials, workmanship and methods of construction are typical for 1930s and 1940s reinforced concrete wharf construction in Hawaii.
