Rediscovery
The wreck was rediscovered on 5 March 2008 by the Royal Norwegian Navy mine control vessel HNoMS Tyr after being missing for nearly 70 years, and will be marked as a war grave, commemorating her lost crewmembers. A series of coordinated memorial ceremonies were held on board British and Norwegian warships on Saturday 8 March 2008, honouring all those who died during the battles of Narvik. Over a thousand NATO personnel took part, including British and Norwegian sailors, Royal Marines and soldiers. Led by Albion, the UK's Fleet Amphibious Flagship, the five warships involved steamed in line past the spot, marked for the occasion by Tyr, where the ship lies. Hunter's final resting place was marked with wreaths cast into the sea.
