Thanks to Savas Karakas for giving the information that this wreck is HMS Louis.

Coordinates: N 40° 18' 48.2" ; E 26° 13' 32.8" (Thx to Mr. Hasan Tan)

Because she sunk in protected place in Suvla bay, the dive point is a good place for the second dive or for a dive in a bad weather.

The ship was being used to purify drink water from sea water for the soldiers that are on the ground.

The wreck is still in one piece. She lies in 14 meters depth with her water boilers and serpantines.

More information and photos will be added soon about this ship.
