Israel got their shit from somewhere and have not done live testing as far as we know. So I'm willing to bet these "disappearances" are a lot like supply "disappearances" that conveniently end up in the hands of various far right militias they support. Or the "accounting errors" that conveniently result in people they support getting shit loads of funding without any need for congressional decisions.
The ones at the bottom of the ocean are almost certainly still there, or were eventually retrieved by military diving teams but without mention to the press because why would they?
It depends on the size of the search area, which is often comparable to large states in the US. Locating famous wrecks like Titanic and Bismark can be a major undertaking.
And then if it's deep like Titanic retrieval may be too expensive, too risky or both.
