Some interesting photos from the Wreck sites of HMAS Sydney & Kormoran are available.

The shots include details of Kormoran's Torpedo tubes, 5.9 inch guns & drop down slats, scuttling charges damage area to the hull etc. Also detailed shots of HMAS Sydneys KO'ed forward turrent, rear turrent with forward vision slats open (reportedly the one that offered most effective & damaging retaliationary fire), damaged bridge direction finding equipment, torpedo launcher & some of the life boats.
