Title:  "Total Surprise: sunken ships of Chuuk Lagoon"

Description: The War in the Pacific comes alive 79 years after Operation Hailstone, when over two days in early 1944 USN Carrier Task Force 58 aircraft sunk 200,000 tons of IJN shipping at Chuuk Lagoon.  Now a "bucket list" diving destination, Ewan takes us on a tour with underwater photos from the summer of 2023.
