19 years ago I was on a scuba dive vacation in Chuuk (Truk) lagoon. A few days after I got there I cut my hand wide open on corral. The locals drove me up to their hospital. On the outside, it didn’t look like much, but on the inside it was as modern and clean as anything you would find in the best stateside hospital. The doctor stitched me up and put on a flexible seal over the wound. He said it would come off in about 12 days. Amazingly, he said it would be fine to continue diving! He gave me a shot saying you Americans weren’t resistant to our island bugs. When it came time to settle up, he said “Americans don’t pay, have a good time!” This gives you an idea as to how indebted they feel towards us for freeing them from the Japanese taskmasters. These people are wonderful, please spend your money there.

I just came from chuuk three months ago, visit my relatives stayed for a month. My aunty told me stories her grandmother use to tell her and my mom when they were just kids. And it's something I will never forget. I will passed down the stories to my kids and so on. She said her grandmother told her that we chuukese owe our life's to the Americans for sacrifice they did. And this is why I want my two sons to join the us army to show my appreciation for what the Americans did.

for the first time in history the Battle of Truk was when the Pacific Fleet was at their full might. They managed to crush Truk and destroy all the facilities but when the battle was over the Japanese launched a counter attack at night. Moen was still active and they sent up bombers but the US Fleet drove them back. Although USS Intrepid took a torpedo we weathered the attack and sent another flight of bombers to finish off Moen in the next video.

@@noahgardner-orr9382 dispite the times Avengers carried torpedoes being more celebrated, most of the time they carried 4 500lb bombs. Carrying torpedoes was the exception not the rule. As for the name, they were torpedo bombers. This means they could be either torpedo planes or (light) bombers. Hence their designation of TBF (or TBM). That's how aircraft were designated back then. Today it would be called T/B. Much like how the Hornet is called the F/A. As for why the torpedo bombers went after the airfield while the bombers went after the ships? The answer is because as bombers the Avengers operated as conventional level bombers. Dropping from high altitude. This made it hard for them to hit moving targets like a ship, but aircraft sitting on a tarmac was no problem. Divebombers otoh came swooping down and released sometimes just over head. This meant they had a much higher chance of hitting a moving target.

The Japanese did have air search radar, and it gave them warning time to get fighters airborne. The approaching task force had been spotted as well, and the Combined Fleet escaped. The largest warship present was a light cruiser. The Hellcat sweep virtually wiped out the enemy fighters, and the bombers took over, reducing Truk to a smoldering hellhole and convincing the high command that the strategy of bypassing important bases was valid. Today, Truk is a wreck diver's paradise, with dozens of sunken ships--mostly transports--within easy diving depth.

I lived on chuuk as a child for a year or so until my parents moved to yap. I left yap when I was over 10 years old. I returned to chuuk many times through the years. Was at a hotel in the 70s when guys showed up looking for a known sunken submarine but not yet found. They showed me a lot of stills of the attack. Even saw how the boat or small ship got hit and headed towards the land. It's the one that was in front of the hotel. Way back when I was there and later coming and going the masts from the sunken ships were still sticking up. Long ago they all rusted off. Umm, chuuk is a volcano and the reef is the outer edge of it.

Not with the U.S. Navy at that time. American aerial torpedoes were terrible. Our dive bombers were more accurate and effective at taking out enemy ships. American torpedo bombers, armed with bombs, made effective glide bombing attacks on land installations in attacks like this.

Places like Truk (pronounced, and now spelled Chuk (ch oo k)), are the reason the United States Military is so good (invented?) SEAD (Supression of Enemy Air Defenses), by the second strike of the day the Hellcats were just strafing and bombing. There was no opposition (either fighters or anti-aircraft), in 6 strikes they sank 28 ships, disabled some 40 AA sites, cratered EVERY runway, and shot down nearly a 100 aircraft! One of the reasons that Chuk is one of the world's greatest places to wreck dive is because of those four strikes.

In WW2, and other wars, if you are loaded with the wrong bombs and on your way, that's the load you deliver. If you turn back, you don't fly again. We got other guys who want to die just as bad as you do.

It's not a mistake: American TBM Avengers were often used as level bombers. They could be armed with as much as 2,000 pounds of bombs, one 1,000 lbs torpedo, various types of depth charges, or even one aerial sea mine. Rockets could also be mounted on the wings. One has to remember that American aerial torpedoes were terrible and not as effective as American dive bombers were.
