HMAS Sydney found off WA Coast
1points
The wreck of the HMAS Sydney has been found after a 66 year search.
The HMAS Sydney disappeared with all hands on deck after a battle with the German Raider Kormoran in 1941.
Her sinking represents the greatest ever loss of life in an Australian warship. HMAS Sydney was also the largest vessel of any country to be lost with no survivors during the war.
Chief executive of the Finding Sydney Foundation, Bob Trotter, told ABC Radio that an announcement would be made later today, but his organisation was "pretty confident" evidence of the Sydney wreckage had been found.
Comments
At last the families have closure. HMAS SYDNEY and its crew died doing their duty. That is defending Australia and its people. The final page can be turned and the book closed.
I plead to all Australians, respect the two wrecks as they are graves and therefore sacred.

It’s been confirmed, the PM said so.

He certainly used the word “some” a lot.
“I’m advised that the HMAS Sydney was found some 12 nautical miles from the Kormoran, some eight nautical miles from the scene of the principal battle site and at a depth of some 2470 metres,”
