How to say "Brisbane" properly (for all who sail in her).

To further share some local information about Brisbane with you, Google search "bin chickens" to discover a bird that is very much at home in Brisbane.

Then, for some amusement, watch this video:

I watched this entire video thinking it was an actual Planet Earth segment...

It took me a while to discern it was parody/humor, too.  🤦‍♂️

They have them in very large numbers in Sydney's Darling Harbour and surrounds too.

Why did it get 13.5 km torpedoes?            10.5 km for San Martin

Why did it get the Ruskie 12 km radar?       9 km for San Martin

Decent hydro with 3.5 km and 5 km             3.0 and 3.0 km for San Martin

5 sec reload and 18.3 km range main battery     6 sec and 18,0 km for San Martin

I'm not complaining - I really like this bote.  I just wonder where these numbers came from? 

I know San Martin has the "hit me again and put some steak on it" speed heal, but I still prefer the Brisbane.

The Brisbane is a modified (radar) Minotaur.  

A more fair comparison would be to compare the Brisbane & radar Minotaur. And if you want to add the San Martin into the comparison fine, but also compare it to the radar Minotaur.

I can counter with "How to pronounce the Swedish destroyers". Because I have to this day NEVER heard any Youtubers or Jingles pronounce the Swedish ("European tech tree") Destroyers right.
