At Dawn on November 20th 1943 the island atoll of Makin in the Kiribati islands was the site of a beach assault on the Japanese held atoll. Following airstrikes and naval bombardments, American Marines assaulted the island directly.

The US Invasion force consists of USS Bunker Hill (CV-17), USS Gearing (DD-710), a Liberty Ship and a LST-1 Class and LCT Mk V landing craft. Besides the aircraft coming from the airfield at the Axis centerbase there are Japanese Type 38 PT boat which can lay both sea mines and launch torpedoes. The west coast from the village leading up to the Center Base and the West Base up north is also protected by coastal guns.
