'''Carondelet Reef''' is a horseshoe-shaped [[reef]] of the [[Phoenix Islands]], also known as the Rawaki Islands, in the Republic of [[Kiribati]]. It is located 106 km southeast of [[Nikumaroro]], at 5 degrees 34 minutes South, 173 degrees 51 minutes West, and has a least depth of 1.8 meters. It is reported to be approximately 1.5 km in length. The sea occasionally breaks over it.

==History and name==
Carondelet Reef was named after the vessel which reported it, which was not the [[WP>USS Carondelet (IX-136) USS Carondelet]]. It had been previously referred to as Carondelet reef before the USS Carondelet was named and commissioned, as mentioned in

==Carondelet Family==
The Carondelet family was a Flemish noble family, closely associated with the Habsburgs, including the royal family of Spain. One member of this family, Francisco Luis Hector Carondelet, was governor of West Florida and Louisiana, and later of Quito in South America. It is unclear which member of this family is associated with the reef, or the ship that discovered it.

The multiple positions of [[Winslow Reef]], mentioned by Robert Louis Stevenson, may have been due to confusing the position of Carondelet Reef with [[Winslow Reef]].
