Submarines you can visit

  • Submarine Onslow
  • Submarine OVENS
  • Holbrook Submarine Museum

Have you ever been up close to a real submarine?

You should try it! They are exciting and they are full of interesting things. You can visit Onslow in Sydney and Ovens in Fremantle.

Did you know Holbrook used to be called Germanton?

Norman Holbrook VC (https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C973126) was the captain of the submarine HMS B11 in 1914.
He was one of the first submariners to attempt to penetrate the Dardanelles, sinking the Turkish battleship Messudiyeh in the Dardanelles Straits.

Visit Holbrook to see Otway and the Submarine Museum and find out why Germanton is now called Holbrook.

Submarine Onslow

She roamed the seas at the height of the Cold War.

Today, as one of the museum’s most popular “living” exhibits, the Oberon Class submarine remains in near operational condition.
