Oberon class submarines – refit

During the 1960s and 1970s, six Oberon or ‘O’ class submarines were ordered from Britain by the Commonwealth Government. Between 1971 and 1991, the dockyard completed 14 refits, 15 mid-cycle survey dockings and 39 intermediate dockings of the submarines HMAS Oxley, HMAS Otway, HMAS Ovens, HMAS Onslow, HMAS Orion and HMAS Otama. In addition, HMS Odin, belonging to the UK Government and stationed in Australia with the Australian Submarine Squadron, was docked for work in 1974 and 1975. These records will be available to the public when they are 30 years old.
