HMAS Sydney Inquiry Completed

No offence taken-seems like the most comprehensive investigation to date has concluded what most people already knew-the HMAS Sydney got too close and was suprised and overwealmed in a matter of minutes.

It's always the captain's responsibility when the ship goes down but it might have been the XO or someone else on duty at the time.
