Description

The log book of the USS Oklahoma City for 1946 (at fold3) has a photo of the sailors playing baseball on Runit Island, Eniwetok (as it was spelled then) Atoll, the Marshall Islands.

The USS Goshen's war diaries say they played ball games there in 1945.

The atoll was the site of a WWII battle.
