An atoll in the Marshall Islands, invaded and captured by U.S. forces in February 1944.

Eniwetok (CVE-125), a Commencement Bay-class escort carrier, was laid down on 20 April 1945 at Tacoma, Wash., by Todd Pacific Shipyards, Inc. The war’s accelerated conclusion, however, brought the work on her to an end on 11 August 1945. She was scrapped on the ways soon thereafter.
