Are there any more ww2 ships u can find on google earth are.
There are too many islands in the pacific and i dont know what ones to look at to find them

to the best of my knowledge Truk lagoon is the best site.
all those wrecks in a relatively preserved state and at such a shallow depth....not a very common situation to come across.

Thanks.
Now lets see what i can see

Edit: this is as close as i can get. I think this is the right island/lagoon.
I wish you could zoom in more

The Rainbow Warrior lies sunk in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
There is also the wreck of the Yongala off Townsville, QLD, Aus
The HMAS Swan off Dunsborough, WA and the HMAS Perth off Albany, WA were purpose sunk for diving and are in shallow water. They were stripped beforehand so you won't see any oil around them.
