Netherlands WWII shipwrecks mysteriously vanish from seabed
Three Dutch shipwrecks from World War II have mysteriously disappeared from the Java Sea off the Indonesian coast, prompting the Netherlands to investigate. The ships, which sank during the 1942 Battle of the Java Sea that left 2,200 people dead, had been declared a sacred war grave. An expedition preparing for the battle's 75th anniversary next year discovered their disappearance.
