Description Damaged USS Growler (SS-215) at the submarine base at New Farm, Australia, in February 1943.jpg |
English:
At the submarine base at New Farm, Brisbane, Australia, the main hull of the U.S. Navy submarine USS
Growler
(SS-215) is pointed towards the CSR Sugar Refinery across the Brisbane River but her battered bow is pointing towards Hawthorne. Following the collision with a Japanese patrol boat on 7 February 1943,
Growler
docked 17 February for extensive repairs. Following the refit, the submarine was nicknamed the "Kangaroo Express", as the refabricated bow had two nickel kangaroos as decorations.
