Cold War exploits of Australia's submarines
 
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news...-1226742599268

Was looking for something else and came across this article from last year about the surveillance operations of our dear departed Oberon class subs. Nice to see some of the details of these ops coming to light.

You Aussies are sneaky lads aren't you. :D

Great first link but no reference to the RN....I'm sure I've read an article that included pictures taken through the attack scope of an S or T Class :hmmm:
