HMS Jupiter (F85) - Wikipedia Jupiter sank the Japanese submarine I-60 on 17 January 1942. On 27 February 1942 she struck a mine laid earlier in the day by the Dutch minelayer Gouden Leeuw as she steamed with the American-British-Dutch-Australian Command (ABDA) cruiser force during the Battle of the Java Sea. The destroyer sank off the north Java coast in the Java Sea at 21:16 hours. Initially, the explosion was thought to have been caused by a Japanese torpedo. The wreck has been plotted, and is described by the Admiralty as "very broken up, partly salvaged, and very close to the Java coast".
