I recently attended an Explorers Club event in
Sydney where a presentation was given on the Sydney raid by Japanese midget
subs.
The presenter Steven Carruthers has recently
written new book on the subject - "Japanese Submarine Raiders 1942 - A
Maritime Mystery" ISBN 0-9775063-0-4 Casper Publications.
Very interesting - however would now seem not a
mystery.

Sub found off Sydney Australia
Very interesting Stephen...thanks. There seems to be a resurgence of
interest in these in recent years, and WWII boats in particular. That this was
found by amateurs is really special.
It would appear the the US Navy confirmed the recent USS
Wahoo discovery on Halloween.

Reading the war patrol reports for these is fascinating stuff.
