- Pknight01's trip Fujikawa Maru
Fujikawa-Maru was an aircraft transport during WW2, sunk during Operation Hailstone, by a torpedo that hit it aft of its stern and it went down in about 30m of water. Prow Holds contained remains of several zero fighters and a stack of booze, lots of sake and beer bottles in the stern holds. Swam in from the prow and worked our way through. Point of interest was stern gun, apparently, Japanese took it off one of the Russian ships they captured in big naval battle prior to WW1, though gun was made in UK in 1899 (sign on gun visible) which means the British built the Russian ships, which vaguely remember from a Reilly Ace of Spies episode. Water was warm and visibility good. Great first dive in Chuuk with my guide, Ryko.
