Cox, U.S. Navy rear admiral (retired). “These wrecks represent the last resting place of sailors who gave the last full measure of devotion in the service of their country. This expedition is an opportunity to remember the valor and sacrifice of those who turned the tide of war in favor of freedom, especially those who never returned home.”

This is the greatest thing since Undersea World of Jacque Cousteau! Maybe Truk Lagoon could be examined in the future?

The Guadalcanal campaign is hands down the most interesting and consequential of the Pacific War. The Naval battles, air battles, and land battles that really were unbelievable.
