The Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon
« on: December 07, 2011, 12:08:38 AM »
Truk Lagoon was bombarded by the Americans in WWII (in what was known as the "Japanese Pearl Harbor") and the number of ships sunk was so extensive that it is the "biggest ship graveyard in the world".  Take a look:

"Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses" ~Juvenal
