The wrecks were created as a result of the US military conducting atomic bomb testing on a mock fleet after WW2. Between 1946 and 1958 there were 67 nuclear bombs dropped during the ‘Operation Crossroads’ campaign. ‘The Nuclear Ghost Fleet’, as these wrecks have been labelled, can be seen in crystal clear waters and are also home to an abundance of fish life, corals and reefs. Wrecks here include; battleships, submarines, destroyers and aircraft carriers.
