The difficulty at this station will be entry of craft through lagoon passage.
A great deal of tarbulanes wae @wen at low tide and markedly less at high tide, as
tide covers reef on either side of passage. Several pictures were taken pf this
paseage at high and at low tides. By flying low over the passage, 11 appeared not
over 50' wide and sides and bottom are jagced. It will be necessary to blast pro§jections from the lagoon end of this passage to allow entrance by an LO.
It would not be seonomical to blast a passage through thie reef to allow an LST to
enter; however, an LCU or au LOM with an LST anchored outside of the lageon could
accomplish the Job, provided that construction wis planned for equipment which could
be carried on an LCM.
Tue to transportation difficulties, if an LGM is used, the
windwum facility should-}e tonstructed on this site. For purposes of support, it
will be necessary to build a simple mole on the lagoon side, possibly « Mavy cube
with dosed £11] behind in order that a emall creft can be docked, (16' - 18! craft).
If it ie decided to blast and remove the several projections which would permit entry
by LOU, the standard facility could be constructed. This passage is easily reached
and blasting would be a relatively simple operation at low tide, except for the
turbulence. Two cases of dynamite should be sufficient for this blasting. As an
LCU fe a relatively shallow draft vessel, it could negotiate thie passage at high
Side as there is 6 5' tide in this area,
