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.
Take Kiritimati (pronounced âChristmasâ) Atoll, for example, about 1,300 miles south of Hawaii. If you look at a map of this El NiÃ±o, Kiritimati Atoll is right smack dab in the middle. Kiritimati is the largest coral atoll in the world, and up until about 10 months ago, one of the most pristine marine ecosystems on Earth.
