The Oberon class Submarine HMAS Ovens is an authentic Cold War-era vessel situated on Fremantle’s historic World War Two submarine slipway. This exhibit serves as a living memorial to submariners and those who gave their lives while serving from Fremantle during World War Two.

The resurfacing and repainting of the Western Australian Museum’s much-loved HMAS Ovens has been completed, leading to a stunning transformation.
