I still like the story about the RAN Oberon class sinking the Enterprise in
exercises.

Only a simulated sinking:) And the best of the pictures made it to the papers
anyway.

Another incident, a co-ordinated attack from an O-boat and a brace of
F-111s was even more effective, though not as spectacular
photographically.

There is a set of DVDs available from the Australian Submarine Association
that has a lot of stuff I'm flabbergasted was released. Video of the types of
things subs do, like taking photos of enemy vessels propellors while remaining
undetected, navigatiing *really* close to seamounts to "hide in shadows", that
kind of thing. I think it may have appeared on SBS a while ago. Some scary
stuff too, HMAS Rankin had a few teeny problems when the camera crew was on
board.
