It’s a big year for us. We’re acknowledging Australia’s entry into World War One a century ago. Even in peace time, a life in the forces is a big commitment, and perhaps one of the toughest gigs would have to be serving on a Submarine!

• The retired Royal Australian Navy Oberon class submarine that’s on permanent display at the WA Maritime Museum in Fremantle is certainly a majestic sight.
  
  
•  Australia has a long tradition of submarines, Australia’s first two submarines saw duty in World War One.
  
  
• Commissioned in 1969, HMAS Ovens is modern in comparison of the Submarines of World War One however, life onboard was never easy.
