The vessels were struck by Japanese torpedo bombers off the coast of Malaysia two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
The wrecks are designated British war grave sites and are supposed to be protected.
Photos obtained by The Sun show the huge dredger Chuan Hong 68 in the area.
She sails under a Chinese flag and was previously linked to illegal salvage operations.
The vessel, with a giant crane, was spotted by fishermen who tried to confront it but were chased off by scrappers a speedboat.
Diver Hazz Zain, who helps to protect the wrecks, said: “The barge was being circled by a small boat.
“I alerted the enforcement agencies.”
Malaysian heritage authorities and local police vowed to probe the intrusion.

He told The Sun: “They are war graves — in our waters we look after them, but in someone else’s waters they have to look after them.
“It’s extremely worrying — the Malaysians said they would look after them.
“I’ve had letters from relatives of those lost on the ships.
“To think someone is ripping up the metal where bodies lay, it has a huge impact on the next of kin.”
Police chief Datuk Kamarul said: “An investigation has started.
“British authorities have been informed.”
The Ministry of Defence said: “We strongly condemn any desecration of any maritime military grave.”
