sadly its not just happening over there, but in Europe also.

The three WW1 cruisers HMS Aboukiur, houge and cressy which were sunk all on the same day just hours apart by the same submarine U-9 in 1914 20 miles of the coast of Holland, these three ships took down nearly 2000 people and sadly in 1954 the british government sold the salvage rights

Today two of the ships are upside down making salvage hard but the other ship is being stripped for commercial gains these should be a war grave.
