I believe the submarine mentioned in this article is the USS Perch (SS-176).
Kinda like taking a bulldozer to the church graveyard to put in a parking lot. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37997640 |

Looks like it would have been a difficult task to accomplish. So, who would have had the resources to remove those 3 wrecks? My first guess would be China.

Wonder if someone finally perfected the grapple and pull, or the super magnet?

Illegal salvaging of the wrecks for steel, aluminium and brass has become commonplace.
