One sub, made from the remains of two involved in the Sydney attack resides in the war memorial at Canberra. The conning tower and part hull of one of these resides in the garden island museum, Sydney. These parts were from the sub depth-charged in Taylors Bay (this one sank the Kuttabul) and the one which was scuttled by its crew when caught in sub nets near Taronga Park. This sub did not get into the harbor. A third sub entered and exited the harbor and was lost at sea, without firing a torpedo. The crew of the Taylors Bay sub shot themselves.
One hundred and seventy six merchant vessels alone were sunk off the east coast of Australia by Japanese submarines during ww2.
