Kinda surprised the second commonwealth ship is another Australian one though, I was expecting Canadian next. Edit: Just noticed it's t3, seems low to me. That surprise anyone else?

By the time she sunk, the Vampire only mounted one single triple tube. Quote At 2:37 am the dim shape of what Commander Moran took to be a destroyer appeared on Vampire's starboard bow. Seeking the transports he continued in towards Endau and soon sighted a second 'destroyer' 'right ahead and close.' Vampire swung to port and fired two torpedoes without result. This ship, which was in fact a minesweeper patrolling outside the anchorage, sighted Vampire and gave the alarm. The two British destroyers continued their course towards Endau until shortly after 3:00 am and when not sighting the expected concentration they turned south east by east and increased to best speed. At 3:18 am their luck ran out. A destroyer appeared on Vampire's port bow and she fired her remaining torpedo. Again she missed while Thanet altering course to starboard fired all her torpedoes but they too sped harmlessly past the target. The Japanese destroyer opened fire and the cruiser Sendai joined in the confused melee that followed. Hopelessly outnumbered Vampire and Thanet retired south east by east at top speed, returning the Japanese fire in the unequal engagement.
