Now that this ship has been found, hopefully they can leave it for the most part undisturbed and perhaps place a memorial plaque to honor those who gave their lives not only aboard her, but also aboard other Allied ships during the battle.

Sunken WW2 warship found in fjord

The wreck of a Royal Navy destroyer has been found in a Norwegian fjord, 68 years after she sank during battle. HMS Hunter has remained undisturbed since April 1940 when she sank, killing 110 people during the Battle of Narvik...
...The site will be marked as a war grave on Saturday. Major General Garry Robison said finding HMS Hunter had been a "poignant moment".

HMS Hunter was one of two Allied destroyers lost during the first Battle of Narvik - the Germans lost four destroyers...
