Preparing for the Centaur Dive and Memorial Service

As far as I know, I am the only person in the United States covering the story. That is unfortunate as this is a major human interest piece.

From January 6, 2010, Courier Mail.

DIVE-- a joy-stick controlled submersible robot with crab-like arms arrived in Brisbane and will shortly circle the Centaur taking pictures of the ship and its debris field and transmitting them.

Using the arms, a commemorative plaque will be placed on the ship.

Problems are expected from the swift currents eddying around the vessel and it is hoped that an expensive piece of sonar equipment that was lost will be found and recovered.


MEMORIAL SERVICE-- Members of the 2/3 AHS Centaur Association have met with the Queensland government to discuss plans for services.

Two large ceremonies are planned, but no dates have been announced yet.

Looking Forward to the Images. --Cooter
