	HMAS Sydney II and the Kormoran
		It was not Kormoran's business to fight warships except as a last resort, as her best hope for survival was to convince the Sydney that she was an innocent merchantman.
		As the Sydney struggled off to the south she was hit repeatedly by the Kormoran's port side guns and at 6.00 the raider fired a torpedo from her port underwater tube which missed.
		The Kormoran continued to fire at the Sydney until 6.25, by which time her own engine room was wrecked and uncontrollably ablaze.

	HMAS Sydney II - Auxiliary cruiser Kormoran
		Major warships whose presence was needed elsewhere had to be employed on long, tedious patrols, ships had to be re-routed and their sailings sometimes stopped, and choke-points continually swept for minefields laid by these auxiliary cruisers.
		The submarine and the Kormoran took five days to transfer supplies due to adverse weather, but at least the raider was able to obtain 320 kilograms of white metal.
		Her after turrets engaged the Kormoran, hitting her in the engine room and causing a fire that was eventually to prove fatal.

	German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kormoran was built by Germaniawerft of Kiel and originally launched on September 15, 1938 as the merchant ship Steiermark of the Hamburg-America Line.
		On November 19, 1941, the Kormoran encountered HMAS Sydney in the Indian Ocean, somewhere off the coast of Western Australia between Carnarvon and Geraldton.
		According to the crew of the Kormoran, the Australian warship was not fully prepared for battle, and her guns were not trained on Kormoran.

	Hilfskreuzer (Auxiliary Cruiser / Raider) - Kormoran
		Kormoran met with Nordmark, U-105 and U-106 between 28 March and 2 April 1941, and with Rudolf Albrecht on 3 April 1941, when she took on supplies of oil, provisions, potatoes, bananas, oranges, a live pig, a small dog, magazines and English cigarettes!
		In such circumstances Kormoran had little choice but to open fire, and in the following action quickly devastated the cruiser, with a torpedo strike and sustained gunfire, which wiped out her bridge and fire control systems.
		Approx 20 of Kormoran's crew had been killed in the battle, and a further 40, mostly wounded, died when their life raft capsized while the ship was being abandoned.

	German Raider "Kormoran" sinks HMAS Sydney of the Western Australian Coast in November 1941
		The German Raider "Kormoran" sank HMAS Sydney at a location about 600 miles west of Carnarvon in Western Australia in November 1941.
		The body of a sailor was recovered on Christmas Island on February 6 1942 and was subsequently buried in an unmarked grave.
		A Parliamentary Inquiry deemed it as "highly probable" that the sailor was from the ill-fated cruiser HMAS Sydney, lost with all hands after a desperate fight with the German raider Kormoran.

		As all of "Kormoran's" fire fighting equipment had been destroyed, there was little that could be done to quell the formidible fires still raging, Detmers ordered his guns crews to remam, and everyone else to leave the ship Some boats had been destroyed in the action, rafts, and rubber dinghies were utilised.
		Two steel lifeboats stowed in Number 1 hold were normally launched via auxiliary equipment- but, this was damaged, and these boats had to be manhandled with a great deal of difficulty.
		The weather worsened, men in boats, dinghies and rafts could not all stay together as a group, one boatload was recovered by a coastal steamer, who broke the news of this engagement to the world.

	Battle between HMAS Sydney and HSK Kormoran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kormoran, a freighter which had been converted into a covert, long-range raiding ship, was under the command of Fregattenkapitän (Commander) Theodor Detmers.
		Although Kormoran lacked only the armour protection and speed of a proper warship, it had substantial concealed armament, including six 150mm (5.9 in) guns and torpedo tubes.
		According to the crew of the Kormoran, the Australian warship did not appear to be fully prepared for battle, although its main guns were trained on Kormoran.

		The Royal Australian Navy Light Cruiser HMAS Sydney II was lost with all hands after an action in which she sank the German raider HSK Kormoran off the west coast of Australia on 19th November 1941.
		If the Kormoran is found, they plan to search for HMAS Sydney to the south east because Sydney was last seen heading in that direction.
		If HSK Kormoran is found west of the Houtman Abrolhos it will be proof that Captain Burnett and his crew were victims of an illegal ruse and they should not have been blamed for the loss of HMAS Sydney.

	The HMAS Sydney/HSK Kormoran engagement an analysis
		The HMAS Sydney/HSK Kormoran engagement on 19 November 1941 resulted in the loss of 79 or 80 German seamen and the entire Sydney crew of 645 men and boys, coming from virtually every major town and city in Australia.
		In 1976, under the terms of the newly-promulgated Commonwealth Historic Shipwrecks Act, the Director of the Western Australian Museum, and ultimately the Department of Maritime Archaeology of the WA Maritime Museum, became responsible on behalf of the Federal Government for all the historic wrecks off the coast of Western Australia.
		To name the most evident, these stakeholders were the Australian and German navies, the HSK Kormoran Survivor's Association, former crew of HMAS Sydney, RSL, relatives of those lost, the National Governments of both countries and their functionaries, including the Australian War Memorial and other Museums, scholars and interested parties.

		Air launched against ships or land targets, the Kormoran employs inertial guidance for cruising.
		Then, when it reaches its target at the end of its 23 mile range, active radar homing takes over, the Kormoran streaks in, and both missile and target disappear in a blinding flash....
