I'm not so much concerned with <i>what</i> they were doing, but an effort should at least be made to find them and bring them home. Your comment, also reminded me of the original mission and the subsequent funeral onboard the Glomar Explorer. @Jim C.

It's truly amazing how many lost vessels have been found recently - not just Sydney but also the US subs Lagarto and Grunion. IIRC there is at least one US destroyer out there that vanished with all hands, and there should be a concerted effort to find them as well.
