A new volcanic islet has emerged along the Ogasawara island chain, which isn’t that rare. What’s rare is for sunken ships from WWII to emerge with it: 
Geologists have been monitoring the islet since last month when it appeared and agree that it probably won’t last long. So the ships may also disappear once again.

Clarification: the sunken ships are on the neighboring Island of Iwojima, which rose up from the sea due to all the tectonic activity.
Iwojima has been the subject of several WWII movies and historians believe the newly emerged ships are the remnants of a port the US navy was trying to build.
