HMAS AE2 - The Silent ANZAC

As the ANZACs (and British, French, and Indian forces) were landing on the western shores of the Gallipoli Peninsula, the Australian submarine AE2 was conducting a submerged transit through the Dardanelles into the Sea of Marmara. Its orders were to proceed into the Sea of Marmara and once there “to run amok!”. AE2 was the first submarine to penetrate the Dardanelles, and in so doing it started the first submarine campaign in history.

Peter Horobin MBE, served in submarines from 1966 to 1985. He had the great privilege to command three of our submarines. In his last job he was the lead responsible for providing submarine escape and rescue services for Australia, Singapore, and the NATO countries.
