Abstract

Starved of worthwhile targets, the submarines of 8th Flotilla operating from Fremantle in 1944 developed tactics for sinking coastal craft in shallow water by gunfire and demolition charge. One such engagement by Sturdy led to the controversial death of women and children aboard a scuttled ship and was raised in Parliament over 40 years later. Declassified information and recently discovered evidence permit an open-minded review of the incident.
