What's happening on Gapang Beach?
if in Bali there is USS Liberty Ship Wreck and Japan Ship Wreck relic war world, well at Pantai Gapang this also there is car wreck just not wreck but tank carcass. Some say this tank is a relic of the second world war. the size of the tank itself is not too big, not as big as the tank carcasses in Kas, Antalya, Turkey.
So how can Tank that should exist in the mainland is now under the sea?
most likely this tank carcass was deliberately placed under the sea, unlike the wreck of the USS Liberty Ship Wreck ship that was shot by Japanese Ship and then drowned in the Sea Tulamben.
The existence of this Tank is also very good for the underwater life of Gapang Beach. in addition to being a place for coral growth and playground of the fish, this shipwrecks also become its own beauty that is not necessarily owned by other areas .
