A Dutch submarine from World War II, HNLMS K XI, has been discovered off the coast of Fremantle, Australia, decades after its location was lost.

The submarine was believed to have scuttled at the Rottnest Ships Graveyard, but recent findings show it rests about 15 kilometers away in shallower waters.

A team of divers from WreckSploration found the wreck on January 1, 2025, while conducting a survey using magnetic data provided by the Maritime Discovery Group.
