Not the same geography, but I was stationed for eight months on Midway Island in the Mid-Pacific where there are significant remains of WWII pill boxes, ammo bunkers, hangars, and other adapted or abandoned military buildings. This was during Vietnam. But during WWII, the island was the objective of a Japanese effort to gain the island and airstrip as a stepping stone against the U.S. mainland. In what may have been the greatest naval battle of the Twentieth Century, the U.S. Navy took out major components of the Japanese fleet and established an offensive that was never reversed for the duration of the war. The Japanese had meant to cripple the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet at Pearl Harbor, but most of the carriers were stateside being refitted and repaired. Today, the U.S. Navy is no longer on Midway and it is maintained solely as a wildlife refuge for many species of birds, seals, sea turtles, and fish. Off and on there have been accommodations for tourists, although it is remote, as far from Honolulu as Omaha, Nebraska is to New York City, though it is part of the same island chain.
