NEW FLASH!!!
An Australian Submarine is docking at our ports today and will be here for 2 weeks! I have no idea if the sub will be open to the public but if it is i will be heading to Devonport. I wish nuclear power submarines were allow to visit our ports. But still a diesel sub is better than nothing. Why is this so exciting? Well it will be the first time in my life i have ever seen a submarine up close.

An Australian submarine will be making its way into Auckland today for a 13-day visit.
HMAS Rankin, which is based at Fleet Base West near Perth, is expected to berth at Devonport naval base at 11am and depart on February 24. The 77.5m-long submarine has 55 sailors on board.
The last Australian submarine to visit Auckland was HMAS Farnscombe in 2005.
