HMAS Ovens, Cold War submarine at Maritime Museum in Fremantle, Australia.
The HMAS Ovens submarine stretches 89 meters along the historic World War Two slipway at the Western Australian Maritime Museum in Fremantle.
The Oberon-class submarine entered service in 1969 and became the first Royal Australian Navy vessel to fire an armed Mark 48 torpedo in 1987.
The submarine exhibits provide insights into naval operations through displays of control systems, tactical equipment, torpedoes, and living quarters from the Cold War period.
Guided tours of the submarine depart every thirty minutes between 10:00 and 15:30, requiring participants to be over six years old and 100 centimeters tall.
The vessel contains original equipment from its service period, including torpedo tubes, diesel generators, and electric motors that powered it to depths of 200 meters.
