I don't think it is true that Fleet Base East is known as 'HMAS Kuttabul'. That there is a HMAS Kuttabul in Fleet Base East is no denying. However, where I were a sailor, the ship always docked at "Oil Wharf, Garden Island" or somesuch, not HMAS Kuttabul. HMAS Kuttabul was a shore posting, accomodation for sailors who worked at the base or somewhere nearby (Aust. Theatre HQ, Fleet HQ, or Defence Recruiting Centre in the city, for example). And still to this day, the entrance to the base down at Woolloomooloo is marked as 'Fleet Base East' and if you go up the road to Potts Point you will find 'HMAS Kuttabul'. The Island itself (including the dry dock) is mostly owned and operated by a private defence contractor, Australian Defence Industries, nowadays.
