Little Hawk-
I believe that the "Walrus" was observed ready to deploy as the Sydney approached the Kormoran, but then her catapult platform was swung back in as the Sydney drew closer.
The initial salvos of the Kormoran were said to have taken out the forward turrets, the bridge, the main fire control station, and the Walrus.
