HMAS Perth and USS Houston, both vessels with an illustrious and accomplished military careers. Vessels that served their nations well for many years. But left under poor command and pressed against unforgivable odds. Even these sterling ships will have their luck run out sooner or later. This is the story of the HMAS Perth, a Royal Australian Navy Cruiser with a streak of good luck that ended far too abruptly.

*editing note: The latitude and longitude at the beginning of the video have a typo. It isn't 177⁰ W on the longitude, but 117⁰ E. Also the name of the Perth's seaplane was misquoted as Submarine Walrus, it's supposed to be SuperMarine Walrus.
