BTW, Australia's first submarine, AE1, forced it's way through the minefields protecting the Narrows and played havoc with Turkish shipping for several days waiting for the British fleet to come. After running out of torpedoes and no sign of the Royal Navy, the sub was scuttled and the crew taken into captivity. The sub was rediscovered only 2 or 3 years ago after snagging a fisherman's net.

Actually Tony it was AE2.

AE1 went missing off New Britain in September 1914
