Operation Hailstone, Feb 1944

Americal forces attacked the Japanese stronghold of Truk Lagoon in the South Pacific which proved to be a major turning point of the war in the Pacific. Hundreds of ships and aircraft were destroyed, much of which remains on the seabed in the lagoon.

Originally immortalized for the carnage, death and destruction that occurred, Truk Lagoon is now a WWII underwater museum and undoubtedly the best wreck diving site on the planet. A MUST for any wreck diver!
