This was 1941, 67 years ago. If any old comrades or old codgers are still knocking about they are most likely in their dotage. Do you know any families still grieving for the crew?

Mallen Streak, I presume you're referring to the finding of the Sydney. If you'd followed the link to the footage of the search for it, broadcast by the ABC, you'd have seen there are families who are, still, grieving for members of the crew of that ship. Furthermore, if you'd read my post about the Centaur (let alone followed the link I included about the search for it and watched that video), it should have been clear that it is the families of those lost on that hospital ship who are keen on its location being discovered.

In both cases the wrecks are classified as war graves so there's no thought of even disturbing them, let alone raising them.

And there are plenty of old comrades and old codgers still knocking about; most of the ones I know try to shield their loved ones from knowledge of the harrowing details of what they went through in wartime.

Cheers, Rowan
