Chuuk (Truk) Lagoon holds the wrecks of the Japanese Combined Fleet sunk during Operation Hailstone, 17–18 Feb 1944 — roughly 40 vessels (2 light cruisers, 4 destroyers, ~32 merchants and auxiliaries) and 250+ aircraft on the lagoon floor. Dry season (Dec–Apr) brings the calmest crossings; rainy season (Jul–Sep) drops viz. The entire lagoon is a designated war grave — undisturbed-remains protocol applies; recreational penetration permitted on most hulls but artefact removal is forbidden.
