About HMAS Onslow
HMAS Onslow is a things to do venue in Sydney, New South Wales.
The submarine was named after the town of Onslow, Western Australia, and Sir Alexander Onslow, with the boat’s motto and badge derived from Onslow’s family heritage. Ordered in 1963, Onslow was laid down at the end of 1967 by Scotts Shipbuilding … Although never involved in war, three major incidents occurred during Onslow’s career.The first occurred in 1972, when a disgruntled sailor who disobeyed orders caused the submarine to dive to almost twice her safe operating depth.
As a result, the RAN changed the Submarine Service from being able to “conscript” any sailor for submarine service to volunteer only.The second happened in 1981, when carbon monoxide fumes from one of the diesel generators filled the submarine, resulting in the death of one sailor.
Although changes were made to submarine operating procedures, the boat’s company was not provided with any psychological counselling, and the incident report remained classified until 2009.The third was a controversial line-crossing ceremony in 1995, which resulted in restrictions being placed on similar ceremonies aboard RAN vessels.
