Tarawa -- Three Days After. Shorn of foliage and strewn with wreckage, the shores of Tarawa appeared as if a cyclone had struck, when a Coast Guard combat photographer snapped this picture after the Marine invasion. In foreground is the wreckage of two Japanese landing craft beached at a boat repair depot. Off-shore are Coast Guard-manned LSTs.
