August marked the 79th anniversary of the first special-operations raid directly supported by submarines.

In August 1942, US Marine Raiders conducted the first amphibious attack ever launched from submarines.

During the raid on Makin Island, the USS Nautilus and USS Argonaut landed 200 Marine commandos on the small Japanese-held island with the goal of destroying enemy installations, capturing prisoners, and gathering intelligence.
