The fascination for me with this particular "wreck" is the same as it is with several other Brit warships of the period...........they go down with almost (Hood) or complete and total loss of life. Supposedly Sydney sailed on for awhile so why no abandon ship order as it should have been obvious she was going down......but maybe not. Maybe she went down much faster than the Germans reported as they didn't want their actual armaments of the Kormoran known......or there was another ship/sub involved or????????   I dunno'.................

There are a lot of unanswered questions and I'll be interested to see if the evidence that can be garnered from the wreck will help tell the tale.
