Hi All
The big news here in Australia is that they have found the sight where the HMAS Sydney lays on the bottom of the Indian Ocean. She went down with all 645 hands in 1941 and its location remained a mystery up until Sunday. The only thing before then to be found was a life raft similar to the ones used on Sydney it was found on shore a few years back but could not be confirmed it was from the Sydney. They found the German raider Kormoran nearby this was the ship that the Sydney was doing battle with when she disappeared, I do believe that there were survivors of that ship and they could not, at the time, shed any light as to the Sydney's fate. They will be sending a submersable to take photos to see why she went down so fast and why no survivors.
