Just a little side note ...

HMAS Brisbane was a Town class light cruiser of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Built in Sydney between 1913 and 1916 to the Chatham subtype design, Brisbane operated in the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Australian coastal waters during World War I.

Following the end of the war, the cruiser was decommissioned and recommissioned on several occasions, and was reclassified as a training ship in late 1925.

In 1935, Brisbane was reactivated to transport personnel for the new cruiser HMAS*Sydney to Britain, after which she was decommissioned and sold for breaking up as scrap.
