Thanks for the history! I know the name and some of the ships history, but did NOT know of her passing to Australia and her ultimate fate. Considering the blue significance notice, I assume Cerebrus is still a commissioned ship, much like the USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides") in the USA. Thanks for posting all the vintage photos. They help bring out all that was new with the design. Keep up the good work! More coming? :-)
