Hi Tony,

The USN passed ownership to the RAN. RAN was charged with Return/Use/Destroy. RAN selected to destroy and rescinded ownership. Item was never returned to USN.

Marine Law seems to suggest that RAN jettisoned, if recovered then RAN offered property at salvage costs. If they decline to buy back property then salvage company takes ownership.

Now you see why I've been tracking down the scuttling sites.

Regards
Ross
