I didn’t realize the Sydney only had eight 6 inch guns which makes it a light cruiser. I think our heavy ones carried 9 eight inch+ guns. Still it should have been a mismatch with the Kormoran only having four 5.9 inch ones and probably far less armor.

My thanks to you, and to BenLurkin. That just didn’t look like a photo of a warship, and evidently this tactic fooled people smarter than I.

More photos released
here including the upside down bow and the point of impact of the torpedo that blew it off. And a truly amazing photo of some of
Sydney's lifeboats.
