According to the AFP/France24, the wreck of HMAS Sydney may have been found.

Searchers equipped with a grappling hook and an underwater camera found a previously undiscovered wreck off of Cape Inscription. Their observations of various details of the wreck lead them to believe that it is the light cruiser in question.

The Sydney was lost with all hands after a 19 November 1941 battle against the German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran. Six hundred and forty-five men were aboard.
