Modifications
Hobart had landed her catapult by the time war broke out in the Pacific.
1945-1: Hobart's radar thoroughly modernized, to include Type 277, Type 281B, SG for search and Types 282, 283, and 285 for fire control. Light antiaicraft was 3x2, 5x1 40mm Bofors, 2x4 2pdr, and a 20mm.


The Sydneys were completed from 1935-1936 in British yards and subsequently transferred to the Royal Australian Navy. They were based on the Leanders but had two funnels so that they could accomodate aircraft amidships. They also had greater machinery dispersal, which made them somewhat less habitable. Their welded construction brought them in under their design displacement. The ships were somewhat fragile, judging from the fact that Hobart required 17 months to repair following a single torpedo hit.
