I understand the main point of the article is that the ships were lifted due to vulcanic activity. Still, as this creates the image of graves being lifted:

„To be clear, these ships aren't victims of a battle; instead, the U.S. Navy intentionally scuttled them at the location in 1945 after taking the island in an attempt to create an artificial breakwater for a planned harbor. Several of them are reinforced concrete barges, ships built to support naval operations and not necessarily for any direct combat role.”
