HMAS Sydney

HMAS Sydney refers to several ships of the Royal Australian Navy named after Sydney, Australia. The most notable was the second HMAS Sydney, an\Formidable-class light cruiser that served during World War II. It famously sank the German raider Kormoran in 1941 but was later lost with all hands in an engagement off the Western Australian coast. The mystery surrounding its sinking led to extensive investigations and public interest. The wrecks of both ships were discovered in 2008, providing insights into naval history and Australia's wartime legacy.
