The 50-mile wide lagoon of Truk Atoll, far out in the remote expanses of
the Pacific, is quite simply the greatest wreck diving location in the world.
Scores of virtually intact Japanese WWII wrecks of transport ships, still
filled with cargoes of tanks, trucks, artillery, beach mines, shells and
aircraft, rest in the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon along with two
Japanese destroyers and one submarine each today a man-made reef
teeming with sea life.
The seemingly impregnable fortress islands of Truk Atoll were a
powerful air base and the main forward anchorage for the Imperial
Japanese Navy (IJN). By 1944, the Allies were pushing westwards across
the Pacific islands towards the Japanese homeland. On 4 February 1944,
a daring 2,000-mile long-range U.S. reconnaissance flight revealed the
Truk lagoon to be full of the might of the Imperial Japanese Navy, along
with scores of large supply ships and transports. The Allies decided to attack
immediately.
