Oh, I agree entirely. I don't think any comprehensive digging through the site is needed. But... even a brief look with remote imagery can probably be of benefit. One wouldn't need to be intrusive to see whether it was a magazine explosion that took her down, or something else that went wrong and doomed the whole crew.

Otherwise, whatever the case, I think it's clear to everyone now that we have the wrecks side by side - the Sydney and her crew were definitely lost in battle against the Kormoran, along with Kormoran and 70 of her crew. Whatever happened, happened. That's the first thing that needs to be known and respected foremost.
