"HAS a length of nondescript copper wiring, found 20 metres beneath the waves and in the sand near Lion Island in Broken Bay, finally solved the mystery of what happened to the Japanese midget submarine that went missing after it attacked Sydney Harbour 63 years ago?"

Keep us posted.  If they are allowed to excavate the site and find the hulk, it will be very interesting indeed.  I'm sure the Japanese will want to give their fallen warriors a proper burial and the sub will be an archeological gold mine.

KAZUTOMO BAN, 74, a retired doctor, remembers going to the train station with his mother to see his brother, Sub-Lieutenant Katsuhisa Ban, off to war in 1941.

It was a scene being repeated all over Japan, but the older brother, from a proud Imperial Navy family, already knew he would never return.

The discovery of the midget submarine off Sydney last month has brought mixed emotions for Dr Ban, who lives in Hekinan, a small city 40 kilometres from Nagoya, surrounded by water. "I feel relieved that we now know the exact place he died, [but] now I think we should leave him to rest in peace," he told the Herald.
