HMAS Melbourne (1912) - Project Gutenberg eText 18333

ONE OF THE VESSELS CONCERNED IN "THE LARGE COMBINED OPERATION" AGAINST THE "EMDEN" H.M.A.S. "MELBOURNE."

While it fell to H.M.A.S. "Sydney" to bring the "Emden" to action, another vessel of the Australian Navy, the "Melbourne," also joined in the pursuit. The Admiralty stated that a "large combined operation by fast cruisers against the 'Emden' has been for some time in progress. In this search, which covered an immense area, the British cruisers have been aided by French, Russian, and Japanese vessels working in harmony. H.M.A.S. 'Melbourne' and 'Sydney' were also included in these movements."
