| Post subject: | Sunk Australia WWII hospital ship Centaur |
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8450511.stm An Australian World War II hospital ship, the Centaur, has been seen for the first time since it sank more than 60 years ago with a loss of 268 lives. Images of the wreck, more than 2km (1.3 miles) below the sea, were captured by a remote-controlled underwater camera. The ship's location was discovered last month following a hi-tech search. Australia says the ship, which went down in May 1943, was torpedoed by the Japanese. Japan says the circumstances surrounding its sinking are unclear. |
