Dreamwave Transformers/G.I. Joe comics
The U.S.S. Hama was a battleship that was presumably destroyed Cobra and the Decepticons in 1939. After its destruction, a map of the Fera Islands, as well as the emblems of the Decepticons and Cobra, were carved into a fragment of its hull by Starscream and Destro. The fragment ended up at Sumbergh RAF Base on the Shetland Islands, where it directed the nascent G.I. Joe team to the hiding place of the Autobots.

Transformers (2007) film
Shortly after the United States learned of the devastating attack on the SOCCENT Forward Operations Base in Qatar, the President dispatched battle groups to the Arabian Gulf and the Yellow Sea, not knowing which of their potential enemies had attacked them.
After the attack on Air Force One which succeeded in both hacking the military network and introducing a virus into the system, Admiral Brigham opined to the assembled Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of Defense John Keller that the only countries with this sort of capability would be Russia, North Korea and perhaps China. He was refuted by Maggie Madsen (the young analyst who detected the hack) who explained that the capabilities required to hack their systems at such speed were beyond known technology. Brigham retorted by showing the increased North Korean naval activity, but was not impressed with Madsen pointed out that it was probably a precaution against the US's own naval movements.
Later, when Secretary Keller discovered that no foreign power on Earth was responsible for the events in Qatar, he ordered the battle groups to turn their ships around and return to US territory immediately.
After the defeat of the Decepticons in Mission City, the Navy dumped the dead aliens into the Atlantic Ocean's Laurentian Abyss. Transformers (2007)
