About this site
One of Truk Lagoon's most photographed wrecks, thanks to the battle tank still sitting on her deck alongside artillery and trucks — a cargo ship sunk in the 1944 raid. She lies on her side from about 15 to 45 metres, coral-covered and atmospheric, with a bridge and holds that reward careful exploration. The depth and penetration make her an advanced dive.
