So many SBDs in such close proximity, I wonder if these were aircraft
that were dumped into the ocean at the end of the war?




"At the end of the military campaign, the U.S.
didn’t need many of the airplanes and other
equipment that they’d transported to Kwajalein.
It would have been far too costly to haul
everything 5,000 miles back to the United
States, so they dumped much of it into
Kwajalein’s lagoon and offshore."
