Spent a lot of time down there on the subs when they came in. Used to meet the boats down there when they came in and removed certain valves off the torpedo tubes to take them back to Garden Island to be re calibrated. Other times I would be down the torpedo tubes sanding gas check rings. One time we spent 6 weeks down there scraping chocks for the search and attack periscopes. Great team of blokes and we had a good time doing it as well. Used to look forward to going down there for a change. They were great days spent with an awesome crew working on the O class subs.
Where is the acknowledgement of the benefits Europeans have had on past, present and future citizens of Australia? Shame to see such a proud base defamed like this.
