John Gray-

I would also agree that your position is perfectly logical, and if Captain Joseph Burnett had listened to you on the bridge that day the Sydney might not have been sunk.

But you weren't there, and I wasn't there, and Little Hawk wasn't there, and the only survivors who were there were Germans and it's their story that we get to read. The video of the sunken wreck may tell us something more but from the images I've viewed it seems consistent with the German survivors report of the battle.

I still wonder what catastrophic event happened that left no Sydney survivors.
