The Asakaze Maru

Cargo and Passanger Carrier

Built in 1937/38 in Innoshima, Japan, the Asakaze Maru was originally built as a cargo and passenger carrier. During the war it was requisitioned by the Japanese Navy and converted to a collier. On the morning of December 4, 1943 it was among the ships that were caught in the Kwajalein anchorage by U.S. Navy carrier aircraft during the major air raid on the atoll. Due to the fact that it has a surface buoy, and its close proximity to the Kwajalein harbor, it is perhaps the most dived wreck in the southern part of the lagoon.

  • Length: 425 feet
  • Beam: 57 feet

The Akibasan Maru

Commercial Cargo Ship

Built in 1924 in Tama, Japan, the Akibasan Maru was built for Mitsui Bussan K.K. as a commercial cargo ship. It was requisitioned by the Japanese Navy in July 1941 as a general transport. The ship was sunk on January 29 or 30, 1944 by U.S. Navy carrier-based aircraft as Operation Flintlock began. It received three direct hits from bombs, one of which blasted a hole in the starboard side of the ship at the No.4 cargo hold, causing the ship to sink in only five minutes.

The Choko Maru

Auxiliary Transport

The Choko Maru 1 was built in 1939 in Tama, Japan, and registered with the Japanese Navy as an auxiliary transport. It was sunk as a result of the air strike on Japanese shipping conducted by U.S. carrier-based aircraft on December 4, 1943. Captured documents indicate the Choko Maru did not sink until 4:40am the morning after the attack. The ship lies on its port side on a 145-foot-bottom, facing east towards the Kwajalein marina. The vessel was hit by 1,000-2,000 pound bombs and was obviously on fire extensively before sinking.

  • Max Depth: 145ft
  • Length: 340 feet
  • Beam: 48 feet

Prinz Eugen

Prinz Eugen

BThe Eugen is one of the only real "warships" in the lagoon. Most of the other ships are freighter or sub-chaser sized craft. It was a subject in the nuke testing on Bikini and later towed to Kwaj. The ship is upside-down and her bow points roughly northeast (away form Carlson island where she rests). There is a lot to see and you don't have to go deep if you do not want to! At the stern there are two turrets of guns that stick into the sandy lagoon bottom. As you move towards the bow you can see the superstructure resting beside the ship. At about 60 feet there is a torpedo room that has 4 live torpedoes.

  • Max Depth: 120ft
  • Length: 697ft
  • Beam: 68ft
