	Ahoy - Mac's Web Log - Holbrook, New South Wales, Submarine Town
		Otway was named after a cliffy promontory on the coastline of the State of Victoria, in turn, it had been named originally by Lieutenant James Grant, Commander of HMS Lady Nelson, in 1800, Cape Albany Otway, after a Royal Navy Captain of that name, who later went on to be promoted to Admiral.
		Otway’s structure was cut into several sections, and together with the imposing Fin, was transported by semi trailer down the Hume Highway from Sydney to Holbrook.
		HMAS Otway secure in her concrete bed, the model of B11, the statue of Norman Holbrook, and the Mark VIII Torpedo, all make up a fitting tribute to two brave Submariners and their crews so long ago, and so far away in World War 1.
