Yes indeed. The footage hit the news tonight. Actually quite emotional stuff... The fact that the threat of Germany had come to our shores down here is little known, and yet a raider managed to sink the pride of our fleet.

pretty impressive photos overall, but those of the sunken HMAS Sidney are exceptional (and also very emotional, for any "old salt")
Thanks for the update Mark
