Yes, very comprehensive. The guys that run it are something like gurus re wrecks in the Pacific. Watch out for my amateurish posts on there! LOL.

Similar expertise-based site to this one but not as active.

I know many of those places from my travels around the Pacific. Many of these wrecks are close to shore and not very deep.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
