ABOUT CHUUK
Chuuk, formerly known as Truk, is a large collection of relatively small islands that forms the most populous state in the F.S.M. At Chuuk's center are the mountainous islands inside vast Chuuk Lagoon. Beyond this are several major atoll groups, including the Mortlock Islands, Hall Islands, Namonuito Atoll, and the Pattiw group. Chuuk is the most famous of Micronesia's islands due to the part it played in WWII, when a large part of the Japanese naval fleet was sunk in the lagoon by the U.S. bombing campaign dubbed Operation Hailstone. It has since become the No. 1 wreck-diving destination in the world. Twelve warships and 32 merchant ships lie on the bottom, now encrusted with thriving coral growth and hosting a myriad of sea creatures.
Chuuk's outer atolls--particularly Puluwat and Pollap--are also special, known for producing masters in the art of oceanic navigation.
