See COBRA M4A2 Tank, Betio Island, Tarawa Atoll, Kiribati
A M4A2 Tank on Betio Island, COBRA, was lost in the water on D+1 when the Tank Commander, 1st Lt Richard Sloat, was ordered to reduce enemy strongpoints located at the junction between Red Beach Two and Red Beach One. Due to casualties lying on the beach, the tank had to approach "the Pocket" by driving in the water, parallel to the beach. After engaging the enemy, the tank returned east, toward the main pier. On her way back COBRA fell into an underwater shellhole that drowned her engine and shorted out the electrical system, and she was abandoned by her crew. Today, despite the corrosion and scrap metal dealers, COBRA is still where she was abandoned 70 years ago.
