Rio de Janeiro Maru
Former luxury liner (9,626 t) converted to a transport, sunk on 16 Feb 1944 by Essex aircraft (bombs); she lies on her starboard side so the port side is heavily encrusted with coral. The huge twin four-bladed propellers, the largest bow and stern guns in Truk (the aft gun is about 5 m long), the twin 7,500-hp engine room and holds with artillery, china, bottles and sake can be explored.
