	Canned Platypus » Blog Archive » New Stuff
		Apparently the original HMAS (Her Majesty’s Australian Ship) was a depot ship for Australia’s “J Class” submarines; while the submarines themselves left service in the late 1920s, Platypus herself continued to have a distinguished career through World War II and into the 50s.
		In 1969 a new submarine base in Sydney was named HMAS Platypus in honor of the earlier ship, and continued in operation as the base for the “Oberon Class” submarines until December 15, 2000.
		The first is the new logo you see at left, which as far as I can tell is a unit patch for HMAS Platypus in Australia.
