An Australian naval investigation may be about to solve the six-decade-old mystery of the unknown sailor.
The investigation has produced a list of three likely names for the sailor whose body was discovered in a naval life raft — or carley float — off Christmas Island 65 years ago.
The discovery, on February 6, 1942, came 10 weeks after the sinking of the HMAS Sydney in a battle thought to have been fought 1500 kilometres from Christmas Island.
All 645 sailors aboard the vessel were lost in Australia's worst maritime disaster.
