Since I was inside 5 days ago, I check out the damage from the American bombardment.

At this point, almost everyone gets dropped off at the skiff so they could return to the dive boat and do the afternoon dive. But I and Susan&Brett Hughes stay behind for an extended tour. It will turn out that this extra will be well worth it.
We take a shortcut across the airfield and checked out the two LVTs that we did the drive by during my first trip.

The LVT-A4 armed with a 75mm howitzer, one 50 cal and two 30cal machine guns.
