The wrecks of hms prince of wales and hms repulse were two british naval ships that fought against the japanese in the south china sea. They were attacked by bombers and sank. Around 840 sailors lost their lives. The wrecks of these ships should be protected in memory of there seamen. However, in 2014, it was found that they were being destroyed by scavengers, who sell pieces of metal as junk. Prince of wales was also the pride of the british navy, and can’t these wrecks just be left to provide artificial coral reefs and diving sites?
