Going back to Dec. 7, 2008, Courier Mail.
Ted Graham, whose foundation found the HMAS Sydney wants the discovery of the final resting place of the Australian Hospital ship Centaur to be an Australian one. The government of the country is giving $4 million for the search for the Centaur which was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine east of Moreton and North Stradbroke islands. Two hundred and sixty-eight people lost their lives, including eleven nurses.
Martin Pash is one of only three-living survivors of the 64 rescued, has said the ship was brightly lit at the time of the attack with a large red cross on the side when the torpedo hit at 4:10 am.
Of course, the ship has since been found by British undersea explorer David Mearms.
A Great Story. --Cooter
