Australia finds WWII mystery ship

Naval experts have found a World War II cruiser 66 years after it was sunk off Western Australia by a German ship.

HMAS Sydney, regarded as the pride of Australia's navy, sank in November 1941 after being attacked by DKM Kormoran - a much smaller vessel.

None of the Sydney's 645 crew survived the attack - making it the country's worst-ever naval disaster.

The discovery follows only a day after the wreck of the Kormoran itself was found by the team hunting the Sydney.
