I remember who was responsible for this tragic event... Fair enough. The day itself is for the fallen, the politics are best left for another day. (FYI, Gallipoli was Churchill's Folly). |

HMAS AE2 (originally known as AE2) was an E-class submarine of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The boat was assigned to the Dardanelles Campaign, and was the first submarine to successfully penetrate the waterway and enter the Sea of Marmara. With orders to "run amok" inside Turkish territory, AE2 operated for five days before mechanical faults forced her to the surface, where she was damaged by the torpedo boat Sultanhisar. The submarine was scuttled by her crew, all of whom were captured. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_AE2#Search_and_discovery A Turkish-Australian workshop in Istanbul on options for HMAS AE2 has decided not to recommend raising the wreck, which lies in 73 metres of water in the Sea of Marmara after being scuttled in an April 1915 battle. http://www.smh.com.au//national/gallipoli-sub-to-be-left-on-sea-floor-20080428-290q.html |
