Понятия не имею...
Лодки типа "Welfreighter" не принимали участия в боевых действиях. Вообще странно почему она там была, их проектировать начали только в ноябре 1942 г. Наверное это опытный образец какой-то...
Всего было построено 40 лодок. И все пошли на иголки. Кроме одной, которую передали музею.
Geomorfolog - спасибо за интересные фото.
День добрый!
Спасибо за фото!
П.С. А по "Пири" что-то есть?

Feb. 19, 1942: HMAS Deloraine under the Darwin fireball, moments before the preceding picture - Photo Prob. R. Belbin, Naval Historical, AWM.
817. Thanks for the comments on the preceding photo. These are images that are so familiar to the first postwar generations of Australians as to have become cliches. One forgets they can still have some surprise impact for a wider audience.This equally famous photo of the explosion of the ammunition ship M.V. Neptunia was taken moments earlier than the preceding pic, with the fireball just rising.To explain it a little, the black curtain of smoke across the scene is from the burning film of oil across the water, which the little tug HMAS Wato has ploughed through to pull the sloop HMAS Swan [11] clear just before before the ammo ship goes up, with her cargo of 200 mines.Swan had been berthed behind Neptuna loading AA ammunition from her [with one of her officers engaged in a confrontation with a waterside union delegate over naval personnel being used in the unloading. Sadly, more than 20 wharf laborers standing by this dispute were killed in the first moments of the raid].
Feb. 19, 1942: HMAS Deloraine under the mushroom cloud of Darwin - Photo R. Belbin, RAN Telegraphist, AWM.
816. This is the famous war photo referred to in the previous entry, with the corvette HMAS Deloraine [ whitish-looking ship, centre left] dwarfed by the mushroom-like cloud rising from the exploded mine-laden ammunition ship M.V. Neptuna.Shockwaves ripple through the smoke of the explosion.Deloraine escaped the huge first Japanese raid on Darwin without damage, as, amazingly, did her sister ship HMAS Katoomba, shown stranded in the floating dock in the centre, just right of the explosion. The floating dock scene is the centre-piece of a highly-dramatized and well-known painting of the first Darwin raid by war artist Keith Swain, held at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. There is also a photo in the AWM of Katoomba firing depth charges loff her stern into the air.In the foreground of the photograph here, lifeboats pull away from the bomb-stricken and sinking troopship Zealandia. The small sealine blob at the far left is the small patrol boat HMAS Vigilant [Pic No 745] setting about rescues from the water. Although not seen, the sloop HMAS Swan [11], which was berthed behind the ammunition ship at the Stokes Hill wharf, had just been pulled clear of the impending explosion by the ancient but gallant little tug HMAS Wato [photo No 41], which had ploughed through oil-blazing waters to get her.A second huge explosion will soon erupt from the oil tanks on Stokes Hill, just behind this scene.Photo: R. Belbin, RAN Telegraphist, held at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. Much reproduced with various croppings and close-ups, the photo appears for example in the Centenary History of Australian Defence, Vol. 3, The Royal Australian Navy [Oxford University Press, Melbourne 2001] edited by David Stevens. P127.
17.February 1942: The Gallant WWII boom defence vessel HMAS Kookaburra in a floating dock in Darwin soon after the attack - Photo Ron Wylie Collection.1275. I have read that my namesake ship, the Bar Class BDV HMAS Kookaburra was in drydock at Darwin at the time of the first huge raid on February 19, 1942. The caption on this photo on Mr Wylie's Mercantile Marine website mentions the same thing.What I'm puzzled about is the many published photos that show the corvette HMAS Katoomba in a floating dock against the background of the ammunition ship Neptunia's huge explosion.Katoomba's predicament [she escaped unscathed] is also memorialized in Keith Swain's super-dramatized painting 'Raid On Darwin' displayed at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.A composite of the action, it captures almnost all the incidents in the Harbour that day on one canvas. Regarding Kookaburra, perhaps there were two floating docks in Darwin on Feb 19 - it's entirely possible. In any event, this photo on Ron Wylie's Mercantile Marine website purports to have been taken at some time on that same day.And another question. Is this the same floating dock that ended up at Garden Island ? On the latter, in the two previous pics, you can see on the sides of the dock the impressions of where the entrance walkway booms have been removed. I have a feeling that some Garden Island person is going to appear who will know the exact history of this installation.
