HMAS Oxley (S 57)
HMAS "Oxley" (S 57) was an "Oberon" class submarine of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
Design and construction.
The "Oberon" class was based heavily on the preceding "Porpoise" class of submarines, with changes made to improve the vessels' hull integrity, sensor systems, and stealth capabilities. Eight submarines were ordered for the RAN, in two batches of four. The first batch (including "Oxley") was approved in 1963
