USS Halligan (DD 584) sunk off Tokashiki in 1945, The U.S. Navy destroyer USS ''Halligan'' (DD-584) aground on Tokashiki island. ''Halligan'' had been assigned to a fire support unit off the southwestern part of Okinawa on 25 March 1945 and began patrolling between Okinawa and Kerama Retto. In addition she covered minesweepers during sweep operations through waters which had been heavily mined with irregular patterns. ''Halligan'' continued her offshore patrols 26 March. At about 1835 a tremendous explosion rocked the ship, sending smoke and debris 60 m in the air. The destroyer had hit a moored mine head on, exploding the forward magazines and blowing off the forward section of the ship, including the bridge, back to the forward stack. The ship was abandoned, having lost one-half her crew of 300; only 2 of her 21 officers survived. The abandoned destroyer drifted aground on Tokashiki, a small island west of Okinawa, the following day. There the hulk was further battered by pounding surf and enemy shore batteries., Halligan sunk off Tokashiki island.

ハリガンは1945年に渡嘉敷沖で沈没し、アメリカ海軍の駆逐艦「ハリガン」は渡嘉敷島に座礁した。「ハリガン」は1945年3月25日に沖縄南西部の火力支援部隊に配属され、沖縄とケラマ列島間のパトロールを開始した。さらに、不規則なパターンで重機雷を敷設された海域を掃海活動中に掃海艇を援護した。「ハリガン」は3月26日に海上哨戒を続けた。1835年頃、船は大爆発に見舞われ、60mの煙と破片が漂流した。駆逐艦は係留された機雷の先端に命中し、前方の弾倉を爆発させ、橋を含む船の前方部を吹き飛ばして前方のスタックに戻した。船は放棄され、乗組員の2分の1が300人を失い、21人の将校のうち2人だけが生き残った。翌日、沖縄西方の小島、渡嘉敷に座礁した。ハルクはさらにサーフと敵の海岸砲台を叩き壊し、ハリガンは渡嘉敷島沖に沈んだ。
