From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alet Island, also known as Alei Island, is a small island in the Caroline Islands. It contains a lighthouse built by the Japanese on its west side, which is a registered building. USS Tinosa (SS-283) bombarded a radio station on Alet Island during World War II, and USS Tunny (SS-282) also patrolled off Alet Island. To Island and Elangeb Island are small islands just to the northeast. Poluwat Island lies to the east,[1] and Sau Island to the southeast. Alet and Poluwat was formerly thought of as just one island named Kata before it was decided it was two.[2] Enderby Bank is a reef about 5 miles west northwest of the island.
