New Delhi: Chuuk Lagoon formerly known as Truk Lagoon was Imperial Japan's main naval base in the South Pacific theater of WW2.
In 1944 Operation Hailstone was launched by the United States during which 12 Japanese warships, 32 merchant ships and 249 aircraft were destroyed.
Here lies the biggest graveyard of ships in the world under the clear blue waters.
Years later the Japanese still pay their respects at the watery graves each year.
Here are the pics:
