A Type 95 tank sitting on the port side of the deck at 35m, the most-photographed single object in Truk after the Fujikawa's Zeros. Also artillery pieces, a truck cab, three field guns and a bridge with the helm and telegraph still in place. Sunk in Operation Hailstone, February 1944. Nicknamed 'the ghost ship' by early divers who found her by accident in the 1980s and were unnerved by how much of the crew's equipment was still laid out. Anchorage: Liveaboard. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
