It reminds me of the Mogami after the Midway battle.

Could be the German raider Emden that HMAS Sydney demolished at Cocos Island IIRC.

Mostly likely the plundered wreck of the Japanese light cruiser Kuma. Illegally salvaged from the seafloor in 2014 for the her low-background radiation steel. Such steel having been fabricated before the atomic bomb explosions in 1945 and subsequent nuclear tests, it's free of even trace amounts of radiation. This makes even small quantities that have survived the saltwater extremely useful for finely calibrated instruments such as Geiger counters, space sensors and medical imaging. The wrecks of the Prince of Wales and Repulse and other wrecks in the Java Sea area have undergone the same indignity.

The OP photo was listed on an episode on Youtube's "Skynea History" channel, the guy does select videos on history, especially naval (akin to Drachinifel). This particular video covered the scavenging of war grave wrecks particularly in the DEI and South China Sea locales.
