  1.  @stc2828  except they're not even doing that, respectfully dealing with the dead who still lie there first- bones are often found by the scrap metal workers amidst the bits of rusty cut-up metal that're crudely torn from the wrecks, and they're just told by their bosses to keep quiet about it and keep working. As for the matter of the metal-salvaging itself, it doesn't matter how justified or sensible you feel it is, it's still completely illegal and something never done elsewhere to war-graves, ONLY to the ships unfortunate enough to be sunk in East-Asian waters, and around Malaysia in particular, not just with these two British battleships but with WW2 warship wrecks of EVERY nationality, American, Japanese, Dutch, French, Australian, New Zealander, you name it if they sank anywhere near there they've been looted, DOZENS of ships, maybe HUNDREDS by now

  2.  @stc2828  seriously, how would you feel about it if you had a family member who'd gone down with one of those ships, or ANY historic shipwreck to have gone down in those waters within living memory, and you went to the site to drop a commemorative wreath or flag over the wreck and to pay your respects, only to discover a bunch of f*cking pirate scumbags with apparently no consciences or senses of respect had completely torn the wreck apart to a state where it was no longer recognisable, or indeed taken it from the seabed entirely? Solely for the scrap-value of the rusting steel, with no regard for it's historical or familial meaning, just seeing them SOLELY as "big lumps of metal"? And the various components and sections of hull aren't carefully removed by any slow methodical process, oh no, they're literally RIPPED from the wrecks with giant cutting-claws

  3. Be nice if pirate-scrappers from your neck of the woods weren't illegally looting the wrecks though
