Kennedy Island
Kennedy Island (colloquially known as Plum Pudding Island, though the correct local name is Kasolo Island) is a small uninhabited island in the Solomon Islands that was named after John F. Kennedy, following an incident involving Kennedy during his World War II naval career. Kennedy Island lies 15 minutes by boat from Gizo, the provincial capital of the Solomon Islands' Western Province.

(詳細は''PT-109'', part of the Pacific Ocean theater of World War II. In August 1943 it was to this island that the crew of the ''PT-109'', commanded by then Lieutenant Kennedy, swam after their craft was rammed and wrecked by the Japanese destroyer ''Amagiri''. Two American sailors died in the incident.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jfklibrary.org/JFK/JFK-in-History/John-F-Kennedy-and-PT109.aspx )〕 Kennedy later had the crew swim to the larger Olasana Island.
A small shrine to Kennedy, built by Solomon Islander Eroni Kumana who aided in the rescue of the crew, stands on the island.
