Военно -морская база Merauke была базой ВМС США, построенной во время Второй мировой войны в городе Мераук в южной провинции Папуа в Индонезии , затем голландской Новой Гвинеи . Основание находилось в 2 милях от устья реки Мераук. Военно -морской флот США построил базовую базу PT и базовую док -станцию с Анкориджем, чтобы поддержать Тихоокеанскую войну и кампанию Новой Гвинеи . ^{[ 1 ]}^{[ 2 ]}

История

Merauke - это тропический город на южном побережье острова Новой Гвинеи . Базовая конструкция началась 8 мая 1943 года с прибытия морских моря 55 -го батальона. Большая часть порта была разрушена японскими бомбами. Seabee удалила мусор и отремонтировал то, что можно было использовать. С уничтожением порта, коровы и баржи были использованы для донесения поставки на берег, в то время как был построен временный причал . Был построен лагерь Seabee и завод по очистке воды. Постоянный 300-футовый пирс и база лодок PT были завершены 3 сентября.

On June 28 a 6,000-foot runway construction was started and was completed on July 7, 1943. The Empire of Japan had bases on the north shore of New Guinea, so the base was attacked by air sometimes with strafing and bombing. The first attack was on May 11, with no injuries, and some loss of gear. Naval Base Merauke operated daily reconnaissance patrols and the US Army did bombing missions from the runway. Merauke Force operated out of the base also.^[1]^[3]
