US landing ship approaches Iheya Island. An LST (landing ship

US landing ship approaches Iheya Island. An LST (landing ship, tanks) loaded with veteran US Marines and their equipment, approaches the beach on Iheya Jima, tiny strategic Island about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Okinawa, on June 3, 1945. The landing forces seized their objective without meeting a single Japanese soldier, making Iheya the 17th Island of the Okinawa group in the Ryuku chain to be taken. Though it has no airfields, it will be valuable as an observation post and outpost guarding Okinawa. The group is about 375 miles south of Japans home islands and will serve as a valuable sea and air base from which attack targets in Japan. 3rd June 1945
