What happened to the Hmas Canberra in World War 2?
HMAS Canberra was one of four Allied cruisers sunk in the early morning hours of August 9, 1942 in the Battle of Savo Island off Guadalcanal. Although the ship survived the initial battle, the damage received was too great and the ship was scuttled by a torpedo from an American destroyer around 8 AM on the morning of the 9th. Canberra suffered 193 casualties in the battle, including 84 killed or missing in action.

What is the difference between a destroyer and a destroyer escort?
I served in the Australian Navy in the 1960s and early 70s. Destroyers became bigger ships after WW11. When I 1st joined HMAS Derwent, she was a Type 12 frigate. After we got our American built Charles F. Adams destroyers, our type 12 frigates were re-designated as destroyer escorts. The Type 12s,or Whitby class to give them their original name, were around 2,500 tons. Bigger than a lot of WW11 destroyers. The Charles F.Adams Class were over 5000 tons. In WW11 and prior to that they would have ben designated as cruisers. I believe the different names simply indicate larger and smaller destroyers. Allen Lyne ex-POUC, RAN
Patrol squadron 19?
U.S. Navy PCF-Patrol Craft Fast 19 (Swift Boat #19). According to "eyewitness's" in 1968, PCF-19 was involved in a "running gun-battle" with North Vietnamese Helicopters off the coast of the DMZ (17th Parallel). The Swift Boat exploded and sank. One crewman's body was never recovered. Responding U.S. jet fighters accidently struck the U.S. Navy Cruiser USS Boston and the Australian destroyer HMAS Hobart, killing two Australian sailors. The U.S. Navy states all incidents involved during this incident were friendly fire. See: "Swift Boat Down." By James Steffes (2005). ISBN 1-59926-612-1. James Steffes was a crewman aboard another Swift Boat, and was present during some of the action.

How did the HMAS Sydney sink?
It was sunk by a German ship in World War 2. The German ship was called the Kolomoran. The Kolomoran was disguised as a Dutch ship. The HMAS Sydney came closer to have a look. Too close. The Germans hoisted up a German flag, and the battle started. It was a short battle. The Germans fired two torpedoes. One missed and the other one hit the bow. It was all too much for the Sydney. The last sighting of her was her, chugging over the horizon, smoke billowing from her bow.

No, assuming you mean the HMAS Sydney sunk in 1941. She ran on furnace fuel oil, which was burned to heat water, which turned steam turbines.

Did HMAS Sydney shoot down a Zeppelin in World War 1?
Unfortunately not. The 'Sydney' was in action against 2 Zeppelins on may 4th 1917, off the coast of south east Scotland. HMAS Sydney fired at the Zeppelins, but ran out of ammunition before hitting either Zeppelin which were apparently flying about 14,000 feet. The shells simply couldn't get high enough and the Zeppelins rose rapidly each time they were fired on.
Why weren't the sailors on HMAS Sydney rescued?
At the time, it was not known that the ship had run into difficulties and it was not suspected until several days later. Delays and infrequent communications were common in wartime and not cause for immediate concern. The later rescue mission came much too late for the crew of HMAS Sydney, as the ship appears to have sunk rapidly with little debris or other evidence that the crew managed to escape to lifeboats. The wreck itself was not located until March 2008 and was the first hard evidence of the ship's fate. The rescue mission did save a number of the crew of the German ship who had managed to escape into lifeboats.
