Why known destroyer wrecks still need investigation

A question about HMS Mohawk and HMS Bedouin distinguishes a wreck's known location from a site that has received serious archaeological study.

Question

Are HMS Mohawk and HMS Bedouin still lost, or have their wrecks been properly studied?

Short answer

Mohawk's location is known but under-studied, while Bedouin has received almost no serious wreck investigation.

Notes

Mohawk lies in shallow water, yet its accessibility has not produced as much investigation as the wreck deserves. Bedouin has received even less attention. A wreck can therefore be geographically located while remaining poorly documented as a historical site.
