Yeah, I was under the impression that nobody had gone to search for them. It would no doubt be massively expensive, and they would have a reasonably large area to search in at Coronel. It would make a good documentary coupled with the Falklands island battle that followed. Presumably nobody has found or knows the exact location of the Sharnhorst and Gneisenau?
I'll admit, things like salvaging wrecks kind of upsets me. Especially war graves. You would like to think they would just be left be, but guess that too much to ask sometimes.
I'm surprised that they demolished the wrecks of the Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy. When did that happen?
