From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Four ships of the Royal Australian Navy have been named HMAS Sydney after Sydney, the capital city of New South Wales.

  • HMAS Sydney (1912) - Town class light cruiser launched in 1912. Engaged and sank the smaller German light cruiser SMS Emden at the Battle of Cocos, near the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the Indian Ocean in 1914.
  • HMAS Sydney (1934) - Modified Leander class light cruiser launched 1934. The ship was laid down as HMS Phaeton, but was purchased by the Australian Government before completion. Engaged the disguised German raider HSK Kormoran off Western Australia in 1941 and both ships sank. Neither wreck has been found and there were apparently no survivors from Sydney.
  • HMAS Sydney (1944) - Majestic class light aircraft carrier launched 1944 as HMS Terrible and commissioned into the RAN in 1948. Used as a vehicle transport during the Vietnam War. Sold to Taiwan for scrapping in 1975.
