Dutch WWII submarine wrecks disappear from Malaysian seabed
Salvagers have removed HNLMS K XVII and HNLMS O 16 – and remains of 79 crew
The wrecks of two Dutch submarines sunk off the Malaysian coast during the second world war have disappeared along with the remains of the 79 men who perished onboard.
Researchers discovered just a few remains of HNLMS O 16 and a mere outline in the seabed of the hull of HNLMS K XVII after investigating a possible disturbance.
