Australian Navy WW2 HMAS Hobart
« on: Sunday 17 November 13 06:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

I hope I am at the correct place to ask this question.  I am interested in finding out what happened to HMAS Hobart after it left Alexandria in December 1940 until it sailed from Sydney Harbour in 1941.  I suspect it may have had an extended stay in Sydney to undergo repairs but I am not sure this is correct.   Can anyone help?

It appears she was used as an escort until June 1941.  It also states the refit was actually in Colombo (Ceylon, now Sri Lanka)
