HMAS Vampire: The Daring class destroyer HMAS Vampire is Australia's largest museum vessel. It represents the era of big gun ships now superseded by the modern missile navy.
The Darings were the largest destroyers, and the first large all welded ships, built in Australia. They were a British design dating from the later stages of World War II, and were the products of the technology and strategies of the time. They provided aircraft carrier escort and gunfire support to the Fleet.
HMAS Onslow: Oberon class submarine. Venture into the secret world of submarine warfare on board HMAS Onslow, one of the Royal Australian Navy's Oberon class submarines now superseded by the Collins class. Decommissioned in 1999, just weeks before coming to the museum, this boat is complete and is close to operational condition.
The British designed Oberons were a product of Britain's World War II submarine experience. Their versatility lay in their ability to be silent and 'invisible' - to watch, listen and collect information without being detected.
