Leave the ships alone.
These are military graves and should not be desecrated by grave robbers. Leave the graves of heroes alone (both Japanese and American).
I would not be surprised to find that one of the ships was the Imperial cruiser Chikuma, sunk by USS Heermann, DD532, during the battle. Of the 8 destroyers and destroyer escorts that went out to face the Japanese Fleet, only one returned, and then only after taking heavy damage and loss of life.
Different battle. USS Heermann was part of Taffey 3 in the Battle off Samar. The “Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors.”
Totally agree.
Their locations shouldn’t be publicized.
These are war graves.
