The RN Submariners Association, Australia Branch knows that our strength lies in the camaraderie of our members, built over a period of 60 years. Back in 1962, what was then the Submariners Old Comrades Association, a group of like minded, ex Royal Navy submariners formed a fraternity with an aim to help each other in times of need, to celebrate our successes and to ensure the memory of our fellow shipmates who did not return from their patrols during the wars of the past century are not forgotten. The branch is linked to the Submariners Association of the United Kingdom.
