The loss of 'Sydney' was Australia's greatest wartime naval loss. Why did Captain Burnett in 'Sydney' bring his ship so close to the 'Kormoran' that he risked a mortal engagement? Why was 'Kormoran' able to inflict so much damage that her ship's company were apparently unable to communicate with assistance ashore and could not save their ship from sinking? Why was the Australian cruiser and her 645 men lost virtually without trace? . . . Discusses recent developments in archival research and scientific analysis and examines the questions and some of the answers generated by this mysterious and controversial naval action.
