二次世界大战中,塔拉瓦岛一战并没有先于它的瓜达尔卡纳尔岛战役和随后而来的硫磺岛和冲绳岛攻击战那样有名,尽管在76小时夺取读岛的战斗中有1000多名美国军人献出了生命。但是,这一战役是美国海军陆战队第一次从海上对一个防御固若金汤的珊瑚环礁岛实施强攻。战役结束后,派出蛙人,在海滩进行水下清障,水深测量和研究潮汐涨落。参加这一战役的人员伤亡比例大得惊人。在公众心目中,不论是当时还是现在,那些军人形象是永远不可磨灭的。他们在没有任何渡水工具和防御屏障的情况下,在敌人凶猛的火力网中,在齐腰深的太平洋浅水中顽强跋涉几百码(1码约为0.9米),强行登陆。

However, this campaign marks the first time the United States Marine Corps has stormed a coral atoll from the sea that is impregnable. After the campaign ended, sent frogmen, underwater wreckage at the beach, water depth measurements and the study of tidal fluctuations. The percentage of casualties in this campaign is staggering. In the public mind, the image of those soldiers, both now and in the present, is indelible forever. Without any tools of cross-docking and defensive barriers, they stampede for a few hundred yards (about 0.9 meter a yards) in shallow wavelike shallow Pacific waters in the fierce fire network of enemy forces and forcibly landed.
