HMAS Australia was a Country-class heavy cruiser built in 1929. She provided naval support to US operations in south-east Asia. She was not only the first ship of WWII to be hit by kamikaze attacks, but also suffered the most kamikaze attacks of all ships during the war. Despite this, she never sank.
