Question

Which undiscovered Mediterranean wreck would you choose to search for?

Short answer

The nearest Tribal-class destroyer wreck, preferably HMS Cossack.

Notes

The answer prioritizes a historically meaningful destroyer over a larger or more famous capital ship. The first choice is the nearest undiscovered Tribal-class wreck in the Mediterranean, specifically HMS Cossack. That target makes this a useful watch point for viewers interested in wreck archaeology. It also connects the discussion to the surviving material record of the Royal Navy's Tribal-class destroyers.
