“Chuuk Lagoon is the new name for Truk Lagoon, the bottom of which bears ample testimony to the true purpose of the United States Navy.”
I wonder how many men like that walk among us today.
I seem to recall my dad was based out of Truk for awhile after they had captured it. He was on a mine-sweeper. He said they had depth charges and would practice. “We never did - but we were sure itching to go after a Jap sub! The only thing we killed were sharks. And a lot of mines I guess.”
