Hobart: Tier VI Commonwealth (Australia) Cruiser 1936

Originally named Apollo, this warship was one of three ships constructed in Britain following the "improved Leander" design. She deviated from the prototype in her different powerplant layout and silhouette. In 1939, she joined the Royal Australian Navy and was renamed HMAS Hobart. During World War II, the cruiser participated in the Mediterranean campaign, in combat operations off the coast of Somalia, and in operations in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. HMAS Hobart was also present at the signing ceremony of Japan's surrender in Tokyo Bay.
