DIVING TRUK LAGOON
327' (100m), 1,523-ton Kamikaze Class Destroyer built in 1924 in Tokyo. In February 1944 Oite was on her way to Japan from Truk with the Agano, and a U.S. Submarine torpedoed the Agano. Survivors were brought aboard the Oite, and the Oite was ordered to return to Truk while the Agano sank. The Oite arrived on February 18th, 1944 while Truk was under attack, and was struck amidships by a torpedo. The destroyer was blown in half and immediately sank.
