TRUK, Federated States of Micronesia
Clustered in majestic silence beneath the aquamarine
water of the infamous 40-mile wide Truk Lagoon lie the magnificent
shipwrecks of Japan's Imperial 4th Fleet, condemned to a watery
grave over 50 years ago by the US Naval air attacks in Operation
Hailstone during WWII. Today these looming hulks are still referred
to by name - Shinkoku Maru, Fumitsuki, Fujikawa Maru, Nippo Maru,
I-169-Betty Bomber, Jill Torpedo Bomber, Yamagiri Maru, Rio de Janeiro
Maru, Amagisan Maru, Sankisan Maru, San Francisco Maru. All are
remarkably intact after decades laying in peace in Truk Lagoon.
They comprise what few will dispute as the finest collection
of wreck dives to be found anywhere in the world. A wartime
bounty decorates their decks and holds, while exteriors are sheathed
in an extraordinary tapestry of brilliant soft corals and colorful
Pacific tropical fish. These historical structures have transformed
into beautiful reefs crystallizing a moment of history that will
forever be remembered.
