For those of you following this fascinating bit of WWII naval history, the Finding Sydney Foundation has just posted the first photos of the wreck recently located with sonar -- confirming that it is the Australian light cruiser that sank with all hands following a desperate battle with the German commerce raider Kormoran.

The ship, while heavily damaged in the fight, appears to be remarkably intact and recognizable.

For more info and a look at the photos, click here...

Amazing. Thanks for posting. Makes you think of all the souls who went down with her. At least there may be a little closure now for surviving relatives.
