The March 20th Courier Mail of Australia reports that the Blue Water Recovery company, which found the wrecks of the HMAS Sydney II and German reaider Kormoran last year, has been given the go-ahead to seek the final resting place of the Australian Hospital ship Centaur which was sunk off the southeast coast of Queensland in May of 1943.
Although clearly marked as a hospital ship, it was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine with the loss of 250 and only 64 survivors.
The Australian government has earmarked $2 million for the effort.
Let's Hope There Will Be as Much Success Here as There was with the Sydney. --Cooter
