War of words over sub

War of words over sub 2 Mins Read ONCE a highly regarded defender of Australia, the submarine Otama is now seen in some quarters as a threat to Western Port’s internationally-recognised wetlands. Picture: Gary Sissons Share SUBMARINES are designed to stay out of sight, but there is no way to hide the rusting hull of the Oberon class submarine Otama anchored off Crib Point. Having already missed one Parks Victoria order to move, the submarine lies tethered to four equally rusting anchor chains awaiting it fate off Crib Point. Politicians and the public are being encouraged to get involved in the ongoing wrangle over the Otama’s future.

Sub seeks less troubled waters

Sub seeks less troubled waters Share THE stricken Otama submarine is likely to be towed closer into the shallows at Crib Point to stop it sinking in deeper water. Port of Hastings tenders were last week working alongside the former HMAS Otama last week to stabilise it before it could be moved. A source close to the vessel’s owner, the Western Port Oberon Association, told The News that Parks Victoria had issued an order for the Otama to be moved by Thursday (8 July). The expectation is that tugs will move the stricken 1500 tonne vessel to just north of the Crib Point jetty, nudging it into about one metre of water.
