Description
In March 2008, the Australian light cruiser HMAS Sydney II and its adversary, the disguised German raider HSK Kormoran, were found. In the following May, a Commission of Inquiry convened for a total of 36 days. After gathering evidence from across Australia, a detailed three-volume report, spanning over 1000 pages, was produced in July 2009.
In the interim, the Sea Power Centre, Australia, compiled an account of each ship and the battle in which HMAS Sydney was lost. In this concise work, the Western Australian Museum, which has been closely involved with the hunt for the two wrecks since 1976, brings together salient elements of these works. This collection is presented alongside a précis of its own analysis, exploring how the controversies spread, why the search took so long, and how the wrecks would be best managed in the future.
