Cruiser Sydney in World War 2
The Scrap Iron Flotilla they said in 1940
Light Cruiser Sydney had some 6 inch guns
she met Italians in the med...
sank destroyer Espero not for fun...
in nineteen forty, yes its said...
17th july Sydney was on patrol, when,..
she was called into a fight...
2 Italian cruisers waited, then,...
sprung some pommy destroyers in flight...
Yes Sydney came to even up...
the Poms out gunned for sure...
when she arrived with blazing guns ...
the Italians run for shore...
Bande Nere and Colleoni rushed a bit...
made smoke to get away...
Band Nere then she took a funnel hit ..
as Sydney passed her way..
Collenoni then she wore the brunt...
stopped dead by Sydney's shell...
so Band Nere escaped the hunt...
Sydney's out of ammo well?.:)
But if you live by the sword you die by the sword...
cunning German's had their day...
Sydney met a ship with hidden guns aboard...
Raider Kormoran made her pay...
Koroman she hid behind a Dutch flag...
and when Sydney came in range... a.sitting duck...
she fired first, jerked down the rag...old navy trick...
two equals did exchange...similar guns...
Though mortally wounded Sydney, still, ..
had some guns to fire,...
x turret still fired with a bitter will...
burnt Kornoran 'the liar'.....Don Johnson...
....demise of both....
