The HMAS Perth sunk along with the USS Houston during a battle in 1942 are unprotected from salvage .
Below Indonesian salvage of a WW2 Dutch submarine .It is feared our ship may endure the same fate unless agreement can be made with the Indonesian Government .
The Perth was found in 1968 at a depth of 32 Meters .Portholes and other precious metals have been removed over the years .In 2015 IANTD travelled to Port of Anyer from where we motored to the sites of the wrecks .Several dives were made on both the Houston and Perth. We were lucky as this was prior to the illegal salvage.
