If it’s shipwrecks that make your spine tingle, then look no further than Truk Lagoon in Micronesia. That’s where the wreckage of 40 Japanese ships and 25 American aircrafts that went down in the waters lay. They went down during Operation Hailstone, the ill-fated WWII battle. The underwater scene is described as a massive “ship graveyard.” Photos of the wreckage are absolutely chilling and a haunting reminder of all the lives that were lost in that one battle, alone.
