  • it is the northernmost part of the country of Federated States of Micronesia
  • I served with Air Group 11 aboard U.S.S. Hornet CV-12 and I will never forget our brief visit to Mogmog Island... either late 1944 or early 1945. Just to have my feet on good old "terra firma" for a few hours was a treat indeed.
  • No western cloth allowed on the island. Bare-chest compulsory even for out-comers.
  • so cool
  • My Dad was Captain of a sea going tug and visited MogMog. He too talked of the brief respite
