An inquiry to examine the sinking of the HMAS Sydney was held for four days in Perth and will continue for one day on Christmas Island in March.
The February 2nd West Australian had an article about ex-Sydney crew member John Doohan who vowed to never wear his war medals as a sign of disgust for what he calls a "cover up." He was a member of the Australian Navy for 14 years and says the government altered history by making it appear distress signals were sent a couple weeks before the fight.
He also believes that a Japanese submarine fired the torpedoes that ultimately sank the Sydney and used machine guns to kill the survivors.
The February 2nd West Australian also reported that it was the Navy's decision not to make public the military findings into the Sydney's sinking is responsible for the many conspiracy theories around.
