new important wreck discovered!

The purpose of the search, as with HMAS Sydney, was to find the crew and resolve the mystery of her demise.  Other than to photograph her with the intention to determine how she was sunk, I believe the intention is to leave her in her resting place - she is afterall a war-grave.

Well Pat she is a fair way down. 300 meters I believe. It would take some serious equipment to get anywhere near her at that sort of depth given most conventional subs have a crush depth of about 400 meters.

 

Of course increasing the penalty for looting such wrecks to maybe include being locked in a small room with a dozen or so very angry ex-pussers might also work!
