A Submarine Memorial



A war memorial with the Australian, British, American and Dutch flags in front of the former Royal Australian Navy Oberon class submarine Ovens. HMAS Ovens (S-70) was launched in 1967 and operated between 1969 and 1995. It is preserved here at this historic World War II slipway off Slip Street (hence the name I'd assume).

It is a feature of the Western Australian Maritime Museum with tours leaving daily. I haven't taken one of these tours yet, but have heard that it is well worth it so I plan on going very soon.

Vantage point: 32°03'18.40" S, 115°44'20.05" E
