Iwo Jima rising

Many sunken ships are now high and dry, as are landing beaches from the 38-day battle in 1945. More than 6,800 American Marines and almost 18,000 Japanese died in the battle.

From We Are the Mighty

"In October 2021, the Japanese All Nippon News Network photographed the rusted-out hulls of some 24 World War II-era vessels in the waters around one of the war’s most storied places, Iwo Jima. 

"By all accounts, the wrecks had suddenly appeared from the bottom of the ocean after sitting there for more than 75 years."
