Over 1,000 Allied POWs were discovered in the South China Sea aboard a World War II fleet.

AJapanese World War II ship from 1942 has been discovered off of Luzon island in the South China Sea.

The fleet, Montevideo Maru, was discovered after a 12-day research in the sea at depths of more than 4000 meters, or 13,120 feet, which makes the maru’s’s wreckage deeper than the Titanic. Before being torpedoed off the coast of the Philippines in 1942, the fleet was being used to transport Allied prisoners from World War II, costing Australia 1, 080 lives in the process.

According to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese,” The extraordinary effort behind this discovery speaks for the enduring truth of Australia’s’s solemn national promise to always remember and honor those who served our country.” This is the essence and core of Lest We Forget.

No objects or human remains may be removed by the aircraft out of regard for the spouses and friends of the prisoners of war aboard the ship, according to the Silentworld Foundation, a not-for-profit organization based in Sydney, Australia, which is involved in the search for this fleet.

A little more than half of the 979 American POWs who were on board the ship before it sank were there. There were 14 different Captives on board.

On July 1, 1942, the Montevideo Maru sank after four missiles were fired at it by a grinder for the United States named Sturgeon. The ship went down within 10 days of being struck.

According to Silentworld manager John Mullen,” Communities waited years for information of their missing loved ones before learning of the tragic result of a falling.” Some people were always able to accept the fact that their loved ones were victim. We hope to provide closure to the numerous families who have been displaced by this awful catastrophe today by discovering the vehicle.
