A virtually unmentioned issue is the illegal salvaging of WW2 sunken ships, specifically those made from metal smelted before the Trinity atomic tests. Since the first nuclear detonation in 1945, all metals have had minute residual radiation levels, making it difficult to produce the most precise components needed for complex medical devices and other sensitive equipment. These illegal scrapping operations are concentrated in the South and Central Pacific. Not only do these wrecks belong to the Western nations that lost the ships to the Japanese Imperial Navy during WW2, but they are also war graves. Asian nations primarily China, is my guess are desecrating American, British, Australian, and even Dutch war graves to build their medical device and precision instrument industries. These dead sailors and marines deserve better.
