Re: WWII battle cruiser HMAS Sydney found


An example of how little the copy writers at CNN know about history. HMAS Sydney was not a battlecruiser. She was a light cruiser. There was an Australian battlecruiser, HMAS Australia, but she was sunk 1924 to comply with the Washington Naval Treaty. And this is not just CNN adding battle to cruiser because they get it right later on in the story when refering to HMS Hood.
