Two skiff stations in the legoon at ranges of 8 - 10 miles recorded Navajo waves.
Three turtle stations (self-contained and
resting on the lagoon floor) were set in the one to 14 mile range.
Two of these have been recovered and contained data.

It should contain veluchble close-in data.
The lagoon wave resordor at Tniwetok may eventually show the
presciec af lagoon wave action for Navajo but if it is present, it
is too close to backgrouni wave antionto be discernible on cursory
eyamination,
It should be dete
le because of its different period.
The long period wave recorder at Parry produce? excellent data.
The Ailinginae station sheuld have a good record as it was armed and
functioning satisfactorily on N-2,
Both wWeke and Johnston Island
stations were successful,
An inundation survey was completed on N #4.
Pictures were taken
of wave damage at Fnyu on D day but inclement weather prevented the
aerial photographic run until N f 2.
Water wave damage was amplified
by the fact that shot time coincided with high tide.
Wave heights and
innundation lines of Navajo correspon? very closely with those pre~
dicted.
The pattern and extent of inundation follows very closely that
observed for CASTLE
(Union).
It is interestitfy to note that the single

responsible for the greatest extent of inundation damage at Fnyu
