Truk Lagoon, Caroline Islands
World War II caused a lot of losses and tragedies around the world. These military battleships resting at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of the Caroline Islands in the South Pacific are the result of Operation Hailstone. This operation was a surprise attack on the Japanese Imperial Fleet and caused hundreds of ships, aircraft, and submarines to sink. The remnants of these battleships weren’t discovered until the late 1960s and have since become a popular tourist attraction in the area.
