So... nothing to do with HMVS Cerberus? I'm not surprised as almost nothing has happened to that monitor in 150 years. But even though it wasn't what I was expecting, it was a great video anyway. :)

@bskorupk While Cerberus had 12 times the displacement of Tyr, it didn't perform well in high seas and it may not have left Port Phillip after 1890s. Port Phillip is a fully enclosed saltwater lake, a bit like a small version of the Black Sea, so it was happy in the sheltered waters there. In any case it was under powered and the cool waters of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean are a huge distance from the tropical areas where the IJN was operating, so I doubt it could have had any useful function in WW2, even if it was still afloat.
