Maui's World War II Legacy-- Part 1

From National Marine Sanctuaries "Maui's World War II Legacy."

There are reminders of the war submerged off the coast near the Hawaiian island of Maui which are ideal for divers.

During the war, NAS Kahului and Pu'unene were on the island. Kahului is now in civilian use as the Kahulai Airport.

NAS Pu'unene was closed in the 1950s and a raceway park is currently located there. There is also a runway for model airplane enthusiasts. Bunkers and revetments from the NAS are still there, however.

Also, submerged along Maui's south coast are tracked amphibious vehicles near where the Maui Amphibious Center at Kamalole Park is located. Today, there is a marker for the Underwater Demolition Teams.

And, More Stuff on Maui. --GreGen
