HMAS Onslow

HMAS Onslow

HMAS "Onslow" (S-60) was an "Oberon"-class submarine, named after an Australian river whose name in turn was derived from a pioneering family famous in early Australian history (the town of Onslow in Western Australia was also named after a family member) [http://upperiscope.com.au/plank_images_oberon/planksob.htm] .

Laid down by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Greenock in Scotland on 26 May 1967. On 17 July 1968, she was slightly damaged by fire, delaying her launch until 3 December 1968. "Onslow" commissioned on 22 December 1969 and served in the 1st Submarine Squadron, based at HMAS Platypus at Neutral Bay in Sydney.

HMAS "Onslow" paid off 29 March 1999 [http://upperiscope.com.au/plank_images_oberon/planksob.htm] and is preserved at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour in Sydney.
