The news have been bit confusing; some say these were ships scuttled to block access to a beach head, other say these ships were confiscated and sunk after Iwo Jima fell.
At any rate, the seabed under Iwo Jima is slowly rising (not a good sign, it means, there is a lot of pressure build up underground by hot gases and magma) and these old ghosts are being brought back to the surface

The process is not as sudden as some news sites would like their audience to believe, but it has accelerated dramatically in the last three years.
