First pics of shipwreck HMAS Sydney II

[wigam]

It is a very interesting event that happened in this part of the world. And in 1941 another Leander class light cruiser was almost ambushed again, in the Indian Ocean. The HMNZS Leander found the Italian raider Ramb1. The Captain of the HMNZS Leander closed to within 3000 yards before the Italian raised their flag and opened fire. Luckily the Kiwi cruiser won the battle but it could have easily been another Sydney.
