HMAS Kuttabul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name HMAS Kuttabul has been used by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) for more than one ship or shore establishment. It may be a reference to:
- The depot ship HMAS Kuttabul, a Sydney suburban ferry commissioned into the RAN during World War II, and sunk by a torpedo in the Japanese submarine attack on Sydney Harbour in 1942.
- The second Kuttabul is the name given to the RAN's facility at Garden Island in Sydney.
(The Royal Australian Navy follows the Royal Navy's stone frigate custom in naming its shore establishments as if they were ships.)
