Overview:
It was D-Day +1 on Guadalcanal in the Solomons, and half-way across the Pacific two submarines, the Nautilus and Argonaut, departed Pearl Harbor carrying U.S. Marine Corps Raiders. Their destination was Makin Atoll and the Japanese garrison stationed there. The secret raid, under the command of Lt. Colonel Evans F. Carlson, was to gather intelligence and inflict mayhem at the garrison in hopes of drawing Japanese resources and attention away from the invasion of Guadalcanal. Nine days later the subs surfaced, the Marines loaded their LCRLs and made for the atoll under the cover of darkness. After battling high seas and rough surf for 45 minutes, the exhausted Raiders landed on Beach Z without being detected. Lt. Petaross's raft became separated in the darkness and his units landed much further west. As dawn was about to break, Carlson ordered his men inland towards the garrison on the lagoon side of Makin Atoll. At his side was Major James Roosevelt, the son of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.Attacker: American (USMC) (2nd Marine Raider Battalion)
