Truk Islands
Group of about 55 volcanic islands surrounded by a coral reef in the eastern Caroline islands of the western Pacific, forming one of the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia. Fish and copra are the main products.
The lagoon area (one of the largest in the world) has an area of 2,130 sq km/822 sq mi. The main island is Moen. During World War II the Japanese used it as a main air and naval base and more than 60 ships destroyed in US air raids lie at the bottom of the lagoon.
