Great video too many forget Australia had a small but effective Navy that did excellent work during both wars. The sinking of the Italian cruiser was an example of good training, and teamwork between the Sydney and the DD's. The Italian's boasted about the speed of their cruisers, but that was obtained only during trials which were run in unrealistic conditions. Sometimes without even the gut turrets installed. At sea and fully outfitted for war they were only slightly faster than British built cruisers. The loss of the Sydney was a tragedy born of human error, but that happens in both war and peace.
