Sokehs Rock on Poanpe Photograph

Across the harbor from the main town of Kolonia on Ponape, Sokehs Rock rises 623 feet above the sea.  This prominent feature served as a primary location for Japanese defenses on Ponape, which included concrete bunkers, twin-barrel dual-purpose guns and 6-inch coastal defense guns.
