	Hmas Sydney - 03/03/1994
		HMAS Australia, which was part of the Allied forces, did not take part in the Battle of Jutland, giving to HMAS Sydney the role of the most notable achievement and engagement of the Royal Australian Navy in the first world war.
		Those were the circumstances in which HMAS Sydney was able to enter into the theatre of war and achieve the greatness which she did in those early years of the war.
		HMAS Sydney took part in a number of engagements - including the bombardment of Bardia - a lot of convoy duty and one engagement with a destroyer, the Espero, which I think is worth noting.

		At the conclusion of the Royal Australian Navy’s HMAS Sydney II Seminar in November 2001, the Western Australian Maritime Museum sought permission of the Navy to compile and promulgate the many submissions received for the seminar.
		Further, while Museum staff were able to assist the Navy in the 2001 Seminar by providing advice, assistance and facilities, the Museum was not able to take a central role in the proceedings, or to finance the promulgation of submissions as it had in earlier times.
		While it has since been tasked with a watching brief should either or both HMAS Sydney and HSK Kormoran be found in Australian waters, the Museum also ceased to field public inquiry about the mystery and the social elements of the tragedy, referring callers to the RAN for advice.
