Why?
Lots of inquirys have been held without access to the wreck. In fact, most have.
Why are you defending this stall?
The loss of the Sydney is one of the most significant incidents in Australian military history. Wanting to take the opportunity to find out if any new information can be discovered now we have the wrecks of the Sydney and the Kormoran is something as a retired officer of the Royal Australian Navy, and an historian, I am quite willing to defend. This inquiry is releasing its report less than a year and a half after the wrecks were discovered - I don't see that as slow.
