The conference was convened as part of Australia Remembers (1945-1995) to recognise the fact that over 170 Dutch, British and American submarines made a total of 416 war patrols out of Fremantle between March 1942 and August 1945.

Subject: HMAS Perth Hello all, Regarding the HMAS Perth, I believe that there is an attempt to try and keep her as a museum ship to be housed at the new Maritime Centre to be built at Fremantle.
The centre already has an ex Oberon Class submarine the HMAS Ovens, so hopefully the Perth can be saved used as a floating museum.
Australia in the past has had a bad habit of either scrapping or sinking most of its ex-naval ships, so my personal opinion is if she can be saved it would have more benefit to the general public as a museum ship than as a dive wreck.
