This US M4 Sherman Tank was stranded on the reef during the invasion of the island of Saipan during WWII. Its turret is still frozen in time, taking aim at a Japanese gun emplacement on the beach. G spotted this in the surf while we were on the way to the airport and we just HAD to swim out to it.  Being able to take this photograph made for the GREATEST 30th birthday present.
