A good write-up on the history & sinking of HMS Hermes. The reason why we don't know that much about it here in the States is that it coincides with the worst defeat & surrender in United States Army History (Fall of Bataan Peninsula, Philippines 09 April 1942).
Will be going out there as soon as the Sri Lanka Gov't restores order after the long civil war. . .

Re: Wreck HMS Hemes in the east coast of Srilanka.
Some people still think that there is a civil war. In Sri Lanka. It's now history. Over more than three months ago. Lots of tourists and divers have started to spend their diving holidays in Sri lanka which was missed for three decades.
