of Okinawa - based American munitions to Johnston Island in 1971.

classified operation to ship munitions to Okinawa under the code
name "Red Hat." In 1969, it was discovered that toxic munitions
were in Okinawa and President Richard Nixon promised Japan's Prime

1971, the first convoy of chemical weapons was sent to Johnston
Island, located 750 miles southwest of Hawaii.
