The Manawanui is built for diving missions in the middle of the sea. It has a decompression chamber, a domed bell for deep diving and a 15-tonne crane for heavy lifting overboard.

The Adamses plan to use their ship, bought for a sum in the vicinity of "a few hundred thousand dollars", to preserve the fuel-laden, mostly Japanese vessels that sank in the South Pacific during World War II.

Many of the wrecks are corroded and starting to leak oil from the ocean floor.

The Adamses have feared a looming ecological disaster ever since they visited Micronesia's Chuuk Lagoon, where the US Navy sank dozens of Japanese ships in Operation Hailstone in 1944.

"While we were diving on one of the ships we saw this huge blob of black oil come out, drift up to the top and disperse," Mr Adams said.

Typical American bullying. The peace loving Japanese were only trying to bring prosperity to their neighbors by establishing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Imperialistic capitalist America didn't want that, so they murdered 3 million innocent people.
