United States Navy and Royal Australian Navy ships in Sydney Harbour

  • andy a said:
    The four evenly-spaced, raked funnels of the ship in the left-centre and the long fo'c'sle are characteristic of earlier generations of British-built light cruiser. Possibly HMAS Sydney or HMAS Melbourne? Four-funnelled American cruisers had two groups of 2 funnels, a short fo'c'sle and a short quarterdeck.
