Bueno, pues la dejaremos desierta, qué vamos a hacerle.

No corren buenos tiempos para la lírica.

La respuesta es el crucero pesado japonés Nachi, que salió de Filipinas en 1944 rumbo a Japón presumiblemente cargado con parte del tesoro de Yamashita, pero fue hundido y se fue al fondo con su preciada carga.

Años después, parece ser que el presidente Ferdinand Marcos se encargó de encontrar al Nachi y vaciar sus bodegas...

Aquí dejo un enlace de los varios que sobre el asunto pueden encontrarse por la red.

The latest version of the sinking of the NACHI. The cruiser was damaged in a collision with the Japanese cruiser Mogami and needed repairs in Japan. Before sailing she was loaded with 100 metric tons of looted gold bullion and towing a barge loaded with drums full of silver and gold coins, diamonds and gemstones.

The Nachi sailed out into Manila Bay where she was deliberately torpedoed by a Japanese submarine lying in wait. All crew were machine-gunned to death in the water, there were to be no witnesses. The looted gold was to be retrieved after the war.

In 1975 the first attempt was made to find the wreck but ended in failure. Later that year, President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines financed an expedition to recover the treasure and according to numerous sources finally recovered the gold which in 1975 was worth six billion US dollars.
