Terence Cole, QC, who headed the inquiry into the sinking of the Sydney, has finally given his report.
A transcript of the news report I heard broadcast yesterday is available at ABC Online (Oz ABC, for those of you from the US) and there was also some comment to the effect that the captain of the Sydney might have thought the Kormoran was a supply ship (generally unarmed, apparently) and was thinking of capturing it before it could be scuttled.

Speculation, of course, but it follows a long tradition.

Cheers, Rowan
