I do not know if it is generally known but I read a UK report recently that explained that the Melbourne was sold to Australia due to being not fit for duty ! IE to get rid of it.
The report said that it was faulty from new due to an in-balance in the design which affected it in the same way as your wheel alignment, which always point your car straight, whereas the Melbourne's natural tendency was to always turn, it was hard to sail straight anytime
So that was one big coverup, and the other was that successive politicians and political parties swept the settlement under the rug for about 50 years thereby delaying settlement of damages and to bring closure to the families
Why do we have politicians and if they told the truth tomorrow it would create history as it has never happened before
