You're Top Poster: #3   | Ships Attacked Off The Australian Coastline SHIPS ATTACKED OFF THE AUSTRALIAN COASTLINE BY JAPANESE SUBMARINES http://home.st.net.au/%7Edunn/japsubs/shipssunk.htm
__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #1  | Interesting that there weren't more losses. Was it because attacking ships so close to Australia was a low priority for the Japanese, or that the Australians had very effective defences? And details of the submarines listed: http://www.combinedfleet.com/I-29.htm http://www.combinedfleet.com/I-21.htm http://www.combinedfleet.com/I-24.htm http://www.combinedfleet.com/I-11.htm http://www.combinedfleet.com/I-175.htm http://www.combinedfleet.com/I-177.htm http://www.combinedfleet.com/I-180.htm http://www.combinedfleet.com/I-174.htm
