Former air craft carrier, stripped, seen across water

The former H.M.A.S. Sydney, which was the second of two aircraft carriers belonging to the Navy. It had been converted into a troop carrier, but by this time, its service was finished. The vessel had been stripped and was about to be towed to a wrecking yard.
