The Battle of Saipan was a battle of the Pacific campaign of World War II, fought on the island of Saipan in the Mariana Islands from 15 June 1944 to 9 July 1944. The invasion fleet embarking the expeditionary forces left Pearl Harbor on June 5, 1944, the same day Operation Overlord was launched with the invasion of Normandy (AKA the D-Day landings). The Normandy landings were the larger amphibious landing, but the Marianas invasion fielded the larger fleet.

Awesome pictures! Especially like the second one, brings back nice memories from Saipan.
From memory it's a pretty long swim out to the one further out, and not too much to see on the way, but's a really cool site and certainly worth doing! Liked seeing the fish living in and under the Shermans.
