HMAS SYDNEY is seen mooring against the backdrop of the Sydney Harbour Bridge after returning from the Mediterranean Sea and service with the 7th Cruiser Squadron. Visible on SYDNEY's port side is the geometric, dazzle paint scheme that was put on immediately after the Cape Spada action against Italian cruiser BARTOLOMEO COLLEONI. The arrival of this battle-weary ship was recorded by Cinesound and Fox Movietone, both of whose vans can be seen in the foreground.
