At random: The United States submarine USS TRITON was fitted with twin reactors and was considered the longest submarine ever built until the advent of the OHIO class. The TRITON was designed for a surface displacement of 5,900 tons. Large submarines of other countries have been the Japanese I-400 (5,220 tons), and the French SURCOUF (2,880 tons).

It would appear that they have finally discovered the wreck of the HMAS SYDNEY aLight Cruiser lost with All Hands (645 men) after a skirmish with the German Raider KORMORAN during WWII of the coast of Western Australia.

If confirmed it may give some closure to those who lost loved ones.

I hope it does bring closure for the families of these lost seamen.
