The former HMAS ARUNTA, (Tribal class destroyer), sank 65 miles off Boken Bay while under tow to Japan for breaking up. Although efforts were made to stop the flooding, it was decided that recovery would be impossible, and Arunta was left to capsize and sink off Broken Bay.
While it was never proven the rumour at the time was that former members of ARUNTA’s World War II crew had sabotaged the ship to prevent it reaching Japan to be scrapped.
