The wreckage of HMAS Sydney, sunk off the West Australian coast in 1941, has been found, ABC Radio has reported.

The Sydney's entire crew of 645 went down with the ship in the Indian Ocean and its location has been a mystery for 66 years.

The wreckage of a German ship - the merchant raider Kormoran - believed to have sunk the Australian warship was found on Sunday in waters about 800km north of Perth.

This has a special link for my family.
My Great Grand Father knew the Captain and hosted a Medal Presentation and luncheon in their honor the February before they were lost. Apparently it greatly effect him.

Lest we Forget.
