Got 'em all, but the Canberra was a guess, (Although I knew the Sydney was lost at Java, never heard of HMAS Shropshire - maybe HMS?)

Seems most everyone got stuck on the Russian ones...

Shropshire was given to Australia after the loss of HMAS Canberra.

She might have been renamed HMAS Canberra but for the fact that the United States had renamed one of their ships as the USS Canberra in tribute.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
