DIVING TRUK LAGOON
394' (120m), 5,385-ton Cargo Ship was built for world-wide cargo hauling, but she was brought into the Navy for auxiliary duties, serving Japan's conquests in the Pacific. This ship proved very difficult to conquer as she survived attacks by submarines USS Pogy and USS Steelhead, which listed Seiko Maru as officially "known sunk" on July 31, 1943. After massive morning attacks on February 17, 1994 by aircraft from USS Enterprise, followed by afternoon attacks by bombers from USS Essex, she still remained afloat, finally sinking the next day, with the loss of only one man.
