Coronel's wrecks demand remote or specialist deep-diving equipment

Uncertain recollections leave Coronel's survey history unresolved, with specialist underwater equipment identified as necessary for deep inspection.

Question

Have the wrecks from the Battle of Coronel been dived, and did the work reveal anything new?

Short answer

The participants cannot settle Coronel's survey history or name a new finding; they recall Falklands wreck work and suggest specialist or uncrewed equipment for deep inspection.

Notes

The participants are unsure when the Coronel wrecks were last examined and identify no new discovery there. Their recollections mix Coronel with survey work on the Falklands wrecks. Tentative depth figures and garbled captions do not support a precise depth for a named Coronel ship. Deep inspection would require specialist equipment, with uncrewed underwater vehicles suggested as an option.
