The incident of Operation Hail

During the Second World War, the Truck lagoon was the main Japanese base in the South Pacific. In 1944, the United States launched "Hail Action" and shelled the Japanese army for three days in a row, which was called "Japanese Pearl Harbor". More than 6 ships and 275 planes annihilated in that attack all sank to the bottom of the lagoon. The researchers found that these ships carried tens of thousands of barrels of oil and unexploded weapons when they crashed, so the sunken area may contain a lot of harmful substances. However, as a well-known tropical paradise island group, it is also a paradise for many deep-sea diving enthusiasts. However, some divers went down and failed to come up again.

Human heads and bones can be seen everywhere

Many sunken ships in this diving paradise are full of fighter planes, tanks, bulldozers, motorcycles and other mechanical equipment, as well as thousands of weapons including torpedoes and mines. According to statistics, more than 3, people died in the "Hail Operation", and complete human bones can be seen everywhere. Some divers even said that there are ghosts here. Photographer Josh once dived into the water to record those ghostly sounds, which added persuasiveness to the haunted rumors of the ghost fleet of Truck's sunken ship.

"Shenguowan" is the most famous shipwreck in Truck. It was a ship carrying oil during World War II, with a total length of 15 meters and a water depth of 12-35 meters. The whole ship was covered with colorful corals from beginning to end. Bathroom facilities used by Japanese soldiers can be seen in the cabin, and medical boxes, wine bottles, bowls, cups and other appliances used by Japanese soldiers can also be seen on the ship.

"San Francisco Ichimaru" sank at a depth of 5 meters. This ship is regarded as one of the most gloomy relics, which makes people feel creepy. A diver said, "It's as dark as hell here, and I feel I'm out of my mind."

A white cloud of smoke was photographed in a chariot on a sunken ship. Photographer barnett said, "These may be the gas still leaking from the fuel carried on the ship."
