When we are talking about islands, what has been on maps, but when the scientists or military went to the place, they would not find anything. The most famous of those exciting creatures are "Sandy island" and "Crocker island" what is marked to maps, but what does not exist. The first one was marked in New Caledonia, and if that island would have existed, it belongs to French areas, what are beyond the sea.
The "Crocker" island is a place, what polar explorer Peary marked on the map, but this island is not actually existed. So why they are in the maps? The most common explanation for that mystery is that "Island" was the area, where naval vessels met their support ships for getting ammunition, powder and other merchandise. That rendezvous-area marked the island because the ships must find together in that area.
A quite small island would be good marking for the area, where the ships must wait for their opponents. The supply must be loaded in secrecy because if there were some kind of rebellion, those warships would not able to sail to harbors freely. And if the support ship would be uncovered, those cargo ships would be good targets for real warships. But when we are thinking about the lost islands in somewhere in the southern Pacific or Atlantic, we must understand that those islands, what are far away from civilization.
And if there would be tested some secret submarines or naval aircraft, those areas might be whipped off from Google maps. This thing helps keep those bases secret, and the conditions in the small islands are similar than in Aircraft carriers, but because there is no carrier crew, that would help to keep those planes secret. And in those islands can be set the cruise missiles, what can be quite big threat for ships in their range. Also, space rockets can be launched from those isolated islands. So that's why they might be erased from the maps. This could be some other explanation for missing islands.
