Eniwetok Atoll, the target assigned to Admiral Hill's task group, lies 330 nautical miles northwest of Kwajalein.8 It is a typical Central Pacific coral atoll with a circular reef surrounding a lagoon, which at its widest point is seventeen miles from east to west and twenty-one miles from north to south.
The world's second largest coral atoll is in the Aldabra group of islands in the Indian ocean that form part of the Seychelles. Uninhabited and extremely isolated, Aldabra is virtually untouched by humans and has been designated a world heritage site.
