　　Japanese military prisoners of war who had been severely wounded during the invasion of the Marshall Islands died. The bodies of Japanese military prisoners buried at sea were buried at sea from the deck of an assault transport ship operated by the Coast Guard. Japanese soldiers bid farewell to the bodies sent to the South Pacific.During the Battle of the Marshall Islands in World War II, the bodies of several soldiers from both the U.S. and Japanese armies were buried at sea. This was a common practice during wartime, especially when it was difficult to return the bodies to the homeland. While the bodies were given a respectful send-off, sea burials were a practical solution for disposing of the remains and often evolved into a way to honor the fallen soldiers.
