The largest cemetery of warships in the Pacific

Truuk Lagoon, belonging to Micronesia, located in northern Australia used to be a very large Japanese naval base. An attack carried out by the Allies into this place caused 70 Japanese warships, submarines and aircraft to sink. Today it becomes a true underwater museum, protected by law. Scuba divers can see and contemplate the past. A diver discovered the bodies of ships in Truuk Bay. (Photo: Alamy)
