Pictures released of German WW2 raider Kormoran

"The first images of a German merchant raider sunk in a fierce battle with an Australian warship more than 66 years ago were released on Tuesday by international deep-ocean wreck hunters.

The HSK Kormoran was badly damaged in a battle with the Australian light cruiser HMAS Sydney on November 19, 1941, and was scuttled by her crew, while the Australian warship sank with the loss of all 645 crew off the West Australian coast."

As I've been unable to locate and pictures yet we'll keep you posted. This is a great find as i've posted about it earlier.
