Chuuk

Chuuk, known formerly as Truk, was an important battlefield during WWII.  The Japanese thought the well-protected harbor was nearly invincible and had an air base on one of the small islands. Today, the harbor is full of sunken ships and planes.  This is an incredible place for divers to see war wreckage.  I am not a diver, so I do not have any pictures of that to present.
