None taken. The ship and the sinking however were real, I know I was there. Check the Wikipedia entries on it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_Torrens_(DE-53) She was as light as we could make here as everything usable and some stuf that wasn't have been removed plus hundres of huge holes drilled through internal bulkheads to help her sink. Funny then that the bows stayed up for about 15 mins before dropping pretty quickly to the bottom.
She is now an artificial reef to attract sea life and you can dive on the wreck now if you want.
