Nakagusuku_Bay abstract "Nakagusuku Bay (中城湾, Nakagusuku-wan) is a bay on the southern coast of Okinawa Island on the Pacific Ocean in Japan. The bay covers 220 square kilometres (85 sq mi) and ranges between 10 metres (33 ft) to 15 metres (49 ft) deep. The bay is surrounded by the municipalities of Uruma, Kitanakagusuku, Nakagusuku, Nishihara, Yonabaru, Nanjō, all in Okinawa Prefecture.American soldiers nicknamed the bay Buckner Bay, after General Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr. Naval Base Buckner Bay was set up in the bay after Okinawa was finally secured by US Forces in June 1945. It consisted of the anchorage and repair & depot ships, as well as various onshore facilities. The base was maintained into the immediate postwar period, despite the destruction wrought by Typhoon Louise in October 1945, which among other things grounded fifteen merchant cargo ships being used to supply US Forces, some beyond recovery. Three USN Destroyers were also grounded beyond hope of salvage, and over 200 various other US military boats, including 6 tank and truck amphibious landing craft, various special purpose boats, patrol boats, and amphibious landing craft were grounded, severely damaged, or destroyed altogether. Eighty percent of the buildings in the bay were completely wiped out while over 60 aircraft then present at local airstrips were damaged.In the present day The Buckner Bay - White Beach Naval Port Facility is located on the southernmost tip of the Katsuran Peninsula. The bay is also referred to as Katchin Wan. The White Beach Navy Ammunition Pier and White Beach Army Pier extend into Nakagusuku Bay. Tatsu Kuchi, the main entrance into the bay, is located 18 nmi north-northeast of the southernmost tip of Okinawa. White Beach is also located about 14 nmi northeast of Naha. Numerous large and small islands, reefs, and shoal waters bracket the entrance.Tengan Pier (26°24.2'N 127°51.1'E) is located at the western end of Kin Wan Bay. Kin Wan Bay is on the east central side of Okinawa between Kin Saki (Kin Point) and the Katsuren Peninsula.".
