$This well-preserved Hellcat aircraft wreck stands out as one of the Solomon Islands' most easily reachable airplane wrecks. Resting upright and complete, it lies in a mere 9 meters of crystal-clear water. The Grumman F6F Hellcat, designed as a carrier-based fighter to supplant the earlier F4F Wildcat, rose to prominence as the Navy's dominant fighter in the latter stages of World War II, a status it never relinquished.\n\nRenowned for its robust and efficient carrier-based design, the Hellcat effectively countered the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, playing a pivotal role in securing air superiority over the Pacific. Its straightforward, highly effective design remained relatively unaltered throughout the war, with over 12,200 units produced in just over two years.\n\nThe wreck rests upon a bed of fragmented coral, surrounded by delicate branching coral formations, ensuring minimal silt disturbance and excellent underwater visibility. Undoubtedly, it ranks among the most easily accessible airplane wrecks in the Solomon Islands.$

This navy floatplane, an Aichi E13A1-1 or Jake type reconnaissance seaplane is one of the most intact wrecks in Micronesia, resting at 45 feet (15m). Beautiful scenario of a II WW Japanese seaplane sunken and a female scuba diver in Palau - Micronesia. The Jake could be found in many lagoons where the land mass did not support an airfield, but they also operated from cruisers and battleships. Two of the planes can be seen (in Palau) in very shallow waters in a cave of Babelthuap.
