I just saw the footage and it's not conclusive despite the guys involved saying they are 99% convinced its Sydney.
I'm surprised at the shallow depth. Actually quite embarrassing if it's her and she's been that shallow and not found in 66 years! But, if it's her, then a lot of families will have some closure.
The common thought was that she was/is further out and much deeper.
Claim HMAS Sydney wreck found off WA coast | NEWS.com.au
THE 66-year search for the wreck of HMAS Sydney is believed to be over.
The ship, in which 645 Australians died, is believed to have been found by a group of West Australians using a grappling hook and a camera last weekend.
The Sydney sank after a battle with German raider, Kormoran, on November 19, 1941, Fairfax newspapers said.
Video film of the find shows tangled wreckage over large, much longer than any other ship known to have sunk nearby.
The search team believe the video, which shows decking bolts, radio aerials, steam tubes and signs of massive damage show the wreck is the Sydney.
The shipwreck is near Cape Inscription on the northern end of Dirk Hartog Island.
It is in about 150m of water.
