Today in stark contrast, an entire fleet, which aided that destruction lies silently on the bottom of the lagoon-.After almost 70 years these vessels remain a museum to that conflict-but have been reborn-brought back to life by mother nature. I first visited these wrecks back in the early 80’s-about the same time as my adventures began in Egypt. But these wrecks are a beacon to the rest of the world in terms of conservation. In those 35 years I have seen little change in the Truk wrecks save some damage caused by livaboard vessels. Indeed the coral and fish life seems to get better as time goes on. Those responsible in Egypt should take note! The wrecks are all very well documented and this publication is a mere introduction to the wrecks and is intended as an introduction for those thinking of visiting Truk-I have selected a handful of my favourites-after 8 visits that list is growing!

    MICRONESIAN JOURNAL OF THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Vol. 5, nº 1/2 Combined Issue November 2006 A CRM APPROACH IN INVESTIGATING THE SUBMERGED WORLD WAR II SITES IN CHUUK LAGOON William Jeffery James Cook University, Townsville, Australia In February, 1944 Japan suffered its greatest monthly loss of merchant ships during World War II up to that time, at Truk Lagoon. The USA implemented an attack of the strategic base beginning on the 17th February 1944 neutralizing the five airfields contained in the base, destroying many land based military facilities and sinking over 50 ships. In 1969, Jacques Cousteau’s team was one of first to dive the shipwrecks, recovering many artefacts and alerting the diving fraternity to the value of the shipwrecks as diving destinations. Early the 1970s, divers found the only Japanese submarine lost at the base—with all hands—and which the Japanese government are keen to see left untouched as a war grave. Today the submerged military remains are a major tourist attraction for Chuuk and its major money earning in- dustry. This article provides historical and archaeological documentation on the nature of the ship and aircraft remains and considers some of the management issues that confront the sites and could lead to their demise. The article is part of a larger cultural resource management investigation into the submerged sites and an investigation of their social significance with emphasis on their value to the Chuukese community. During World War II, Chuuk1, or as it was continual bombing of the base with B-24 and known then Truk, was a strategic advance base B-29 aircraft dropping over 6,000 tons of for the Japanese supplying ships, aircraft, stores bombs kept the base out of the war, without and military personnel for the Japanese south any amphibious assault and major loss of life east expansion as well as a major communica- from the American side.

  • 1940 Japan-America Student Conference Diary by James J. Halsema
    1940 Japan-America Student Conference Diary by James J. Halsema Publications of the Center for East Asian Studies, University of Kansas, Electronic Series, Number 1 Center for East Asian Studies Forward by Grant K. Goodman 1940 JASC Diary JASC Appendix A 1 Forward For historians of modern Japan, of whom I happen to be one, the search for clues to a better understanding of Japan's imperial expansion as well as of Japan's concurrent internal authoritarianism is never ending. That same search usually leads us to try to find new documentary sources, especially those which are contemporary in the sense that they record events, personalities, and in particular, an environment revelatory of evolving Japanese developments. Remarkably, I believe, this is what is so important about the diary of James Halsema electronically published below. Several years ago in a casual conversation Jim Halsema not only told me that he was a student delegate to the 7th Japan-America Student Conference held in Japan, but that he had kept a diary of that experience. Luckily for us Jim had that diary in his possession and has been willing to share it with us. Because Jim Halsema was an incredibly astute and careful observer, even at the relatively tender age of 21, we are able to share his keen perceptions of Japan, Korea, Manchuria, and China on the eve of the Pacific War. And what we are able to discern in retrospect from the Halsema diary is that a) the Japanese government had no intention whatever of diminishing its imperial state in Northeast Asia and b) that Japanese public opinion was extremely supportive of that position.
