I wondered whether the Darter's hulk might be visible on Google Earth. Lots of smaller things are; at 300+ ft, the Darter should show up.

No dice. Google Maps/Earth has only the blurry "open ocean" imagery in that location, although someone put the coordinates in the Darter Wikipedia article: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=9.406...=9.406,116.984

However, there's a pretty good (if old) photo on this page, recounting some US Navy guys visiting the Darter's wreck in the 1960's:

Apparently, there wasn't much left even then:
