US Navy

  • In September 1944, the US Navy captured Ulithi Atoll and used it to support the Allied advance.
  • The remote atoll hosted hundreds of ships for repair and rearmament and allowed troops to rest.
  • Ulithi is taking on new relevance amid heightened tensions with China in the Western Pacific.

On September 16, 1944, as US Marines began a major assault on Peleliu, Adm. William Halsey, commander of the US Navy's 3rd Fleet, ordered III Amphibious Corps to seize Ulithi Atoll, located 400 miles to the northeast.

Seven days later, soldiers from the 81st Infantry Division began landing on Ulithi's coral islets. The Japanese had abandoned the atoll a few months earlier, and the US landing was unopposed. Within two days the Americans had completed their initial unloading operations.

Located roughly between Guam and Palau and some 1,300 miles from Tokyo, Ulithi would have been easy to overlook, but within a few weeks it would become essential to the war effort.

Hundreds of Allied ships would fill its lagoon and thousands of troops would occupy its islands. The remote coral outcropping would allow them to take the fight all the way to Japan's shores.

Ulithi is made up of 40 small islands, only four of which are inhabited, in an oblong ring around a lagoon of some 200 square miles in size and depths of 80 feet to 100 feet.

The atoll was spotted by US Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Chester Nimitz while looking over a map of the area to find a good location for an advance base to support future operations against the Philippines and Japan.

The Japanese had a weather station on the atoll and made limited use of its lagoon as a fleet anchorage and seaplane base earlier in the war, but they withdrew after coming under attack from US carrier aircraft. The Japanese saw no strategic value in Ulithi and didn't think it could be used against them.

US naval construction battalions, known as "Seabees," quickly proved them wrong, setting up Ulithi as an advance base almost immediately after landing in late September 1944.

The Seabees lengthened an abandoned airstrip on Falalop Island to 1,200 yards, set up buoys to designate areas in the lagoon where ships could anchor, established a headquarters on Asor Island, and built a boat pool and 100-bed hospital on Sorlen Island.

The Navy also transferred Ulithi's native population to one of the smaller islands, where they lived for the rest of the war.

Mogmog, the largest and most habitable island, became a badly needed haven for US troops. It had ball fields, a band stand, a chapel, and a 1,200-seat theater. There was also an ice cream barge that could make 500 gallons of ice cream in one shift. At its peak, the island hosted 20,000 men, with roughly 9,000 there on any given day.

The lagoon was Ulithi's most valuable feature. Hundreds of ships, including entire carrier groups, anchored in its waters, alongside dozens of seaplanes. There they would be tended to by the small army of Navy engineers and logistics personnel assigned to Service Squadron 10.

Service Squadron 10 oversaw the rearming, resupplying, and repairing of Navy ships and aircraft, and otherwise supported the war effort's logistical needs.

In all, the unit had over 400 vessels, including repair ships, tankers, floating dry docks, crane ships, desalination ships, tugs, floating barracks, and floating workshops.

The ships and sailors of Service Squadron 10 allowed the Navy to continue fighting across the vast Pacific expanse. They were called Nimitz's "secret weapon."

Ulithi became an extremely important base of operations. Any ship could be repaired — or mended enough to get back to a bigger base — and rearmed there and troops could rest and recuperate. Aircraft carriers moored there could continue launching rescue, reconnaissance, and bombing operations.

The liberation of the Philippines and the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa were all launched from Ulithi. It also hosted preparations for the planned invasion of Japan's home islands.

By the end of the war, Ulithi was the world's largest naval facility, hosting as many as 617 vessels. The presence of so many ships also made Ulithi a target.

The Japanese repeatedly tried to attack it with aircraft, mini-subs, and even Kaiten manned torpedoes. On November 20, 1944, the Japanese sank the fleet oiler USS Mississinewa, killing some 63 sailors and officers.

On March 11, 1945, a long-range kamikaze plane struck the carrier USS Randolph, killing 25 men and wounding 106 more. Randolph was repaired at Ulithi and joined the invasion of Okinawa a month later.

Japan even sent its enormous plane-carrying I-400-class submarines to attack Ulithi. The subs were en route when Japan surrendered and had to return.

Newfound relevance

Ulithi was largely abandoned after the war, but the atoll is taking on new relevance as heightened tensions with China make another war in the Pacific more likely.

A forward base would be invaluable in such a conflict, especially since modern guided-missile warships cannot be rearmed while at sea.

The need for such a base is compounded by the fact that the US Navy would likely struggle to repair warships damaged in battle with great-power rivals like China or Russia, according to a Government Accountability Office report released last year.

The complexity of modern warship design coupled with US divestment of naval repair assets and the closure of many public shipyards after the Cold War make fixing battle-damaged ships more challenging.

The US Navy is already struggling with a repair backlog. Its surface ships currently face roughly 4,200 days of maintenance delays — effectively reducing the fleet by about 10 ships a year, Navy officials said this month.

With China continuing to build ships, expand the reach of its missile arsenal, and muster industrial capacity three times that of the US, the Navy would need every advantage it could get.

Enlarge / Certain species of beetle have evolved unusual “back pockets” to safely house symbiotic bacteria during metamorphosis—the only known instance of this among insects.

Certain species of beetle have evolved unusual “back pockets” to safely house symbiotic bacteria during metamorphosis—the only known instance of this among insects. It’s part of a mutually beneficial arrangement, since the bacteria protect vulnerable larvae and pupae from fungi. Scientists have also determined that only adult females retain these symbiotic bacteria, shuffling the populations out of those back pockets via friction to the genital area as they emerge from their pupae, according to a new paper published in the journal Frontiers in Physiology.

“We show how an insect can maintain beneficial microbial partners despite the drastic rearrangements of body structures that occur during metamorphosis,” said co-author Laura V. Flórez of the University of Copenhagen. “By modifying unique ‘pockets’ on their backs, Lagria beetles manage to keep their protective symbionts and facilitate their relocation during pupation to newly developed adult organs.”

There are many examples of microbial symbionts in nature. For instance, the Hawaiian bobtail squid has a built-in flashlight to help the creature navigate those murky nighttime waters, hunt for prey, and hide from predators in turn. It’s a special organ on the underside, a convenient little cavity that houses colonies of bacteria, Vibrio fischeri. Once that bacterial colony reaches a critical threshold, they all begin to glow, serving as a light source for the squid. Aphids, tubeworms, digger wasps, cereal weevils, and bean bugs have also evolved symbiotic relationships with microbes for various purposes.

  • On Face the Nation, the Michigan Secretary of State said officials are concerned about violence during the midterms.
  • Sec. Jocelyn Benson said "the ongoing spread of misinformation" fuels the potential for violence.
  • Sec. Benson added that officials have been preparing for "potential disruptions" since the 2020 election.

Michigan's Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, said on Sunday's Face the Nation that election officials are worried about potential "violence and disruption" during the upcoming midterms. 

With just over two months to go until election day, Benson told CBS News' Major Garrett election officials nationwide are preparing for "potential disruptions" to polling places and have been for the past two years.

"Violence and disruption on Election Day, first and foremost, and in the days surrounding the election," Benson explained, is the primary concern among officials. "And, secondly, there's a concern about the ongoing spread of misinformation, which of course, fuels the potential for additional threats, harassment and, and even violence on Election Day."

Michigan's top election official is not alone in her concern about violence during this election cycle. A Capitol police officer last month expressed worry about another potential attack like the Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol since the search of Mar-a-Lago prompted a rise in online threats and calls for violence, especially among GOP politicians and Trump supporters. In a speech earlier this week, President Joe Biden warned that American democracy is under threat due to extreme MAGA ideology and political violence. 

Benson noted that there have not been "significant attempts" to disrupt the electoral process in Michigan or elsewhere, but that officials have collaborated with law enforcement "and every other potential partner" to make sure voters are safe at polling places.

"It's also important to note that we've been doing this work now for close to two years, or over two years, and we've been succeeding really at every turn," Benson said. "We are in many ways even more prepared this year than ever before, than — even than we were in 2020, to ensure that we are eliminating, mitigating or certainly protecting the system against any potential disruptions."

A spokesperson for the Michigan Department of State told Insider the Benson administration made $ 8 million available for local clerks to bolster election security to prepare for "any possible attack or interference," citing a recent Brennan Center poll which found one in six elec­tion offi­cials have exper­i­enced threats because of their job, and 77% say that they feel these threats have increased in recent years.

"[The Benson administration] continues working with clerks and law enforcement agencies to ensure they know all relevant election laws and how to enforce them, and are prepared to do so quickly and effectively to protect our elections and all eligible citizens' right to safely cast their ballot and have their vote counted," Jake Rollow, a spokesperson for the Michigan Department of State, told Insider.

  • A teenager traveling alone for the first time was not allowed to buy food on a layover.
  • He was told by staff to stay with the group despite seeking permission multiple times. 
  • He was left hungry on a near-two hour layover due to likely "staff shortages", his stepmom was told.

American Airlines did not allow a 15-year-old to buy food during a layover between flights after he asked staff for permission multiple times.

The teenager was flying unaccompanied from Jacksonville, Florida, where he was visiting his sister, back home to Albany, New York via Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

The layover was supposed to be for an hour, but ended up being almost two as his flight was delayed, which Insider verified via flight details.

The incident is the latest involving American Airlines' treatment of unaccompanied minors reported by Insider amid a summer of travel chaos. The airline sent a 12-year-old child to the wrong state in June, and it lost a child's passport in July. 

Jennifer Roback, the boy's sister, told Insider that he was not allowed to get food from a shop in the terminal just a few feet away as he had to stay with a group of other unaccompanied minors at all times on the layover.

"He didn't have breakfast so he hadn't eaten all day and was just left hungry," she said.

When the teen first asked the accompanying staff member he was told to ask someone else, Roback said, as that person was not the assigned leader. He then asked another person a few more times but was continually refused.

"I was upset about it because my brother's never flown alone before so it was a big trip for him," she said. "It bothers me that his way back wasn't great and I was angry for him."

When his step-mom picked him up from Albany airport, she went to the American Airlines desk to find out what happened. They apologized and told her it was probably due to staff shortages, she said.

"I know that there have been a lot of staff shortages because of the pandemic, but I feel like companies are now just trying to use that as an excuse," Roback told Insider. "It's one thing if someone closes a register at a grocery store, but it's another thing when you deny children food."

Roback messaged American Airlines on Twitter on August 8 about the incident and the airline responded: "If your brother had money to grab a bite to eat, our team should've had someone take him. DM his record locator and we'll pass this on."

American Airlines did not respond to Insider's request for comment.

The BBC has since revealed that the broadcaster was flooded with over 100 complaints from viewers who were unimpressed by Munchetty and Stayt’s comments.

The broadcaster’s most recent complaint report stated: “We received complaints from people unhappy with a comment Charlie Stayt made about the flag in the background of an interview and Naga Munchetty’s subsequent activity on social media.”

A statement from the BBC added: “At the end of a long, serious interview with the Housing, Communities and Local Government Secretary Robert Jennick, Charlie Stays made an off-the-cuff remark about the size of the flag behind Mr Jenrick,” the BBC’s response began.

“It was meant as a light-hearted, off-the-cuff comment and no offence or disrespect was intended.

“Naga and Charlie have been spoken to and reminded of their responsibilities, including the BBC’s impartiality and social media guidelines.”

The politician continued: “I think it’s just worth mentioning as well that in the private sector, many people are actually losing their jobs and have been on very much reduced incomes over the past year. 

“No one else, no other public sector employee is receiving a pay rise and so it’s against that backdrop that the government has decided that all we can afford is the one percent but nurses and healthcare workers will be the only employees the only workers receiving a pay rise this year.

“Many public sector workers will receive northing, many people in the private sector have either lost their jobs or are on reduced incomes.

“And if I can just make one more point, it’s also important to note that over the past three years, newly qualified nurses have received a 12 percent increase which quite rightly so have taken their salaries to an average of £34,000.
