- It’s one of the great unknown stories of the war and it’s all true. In this special report, Mike Carlton travels to the last resting place of Australia’s bravest warship - the HMAS Perth. During World War II, it was the last line of defense against the massive Japanese invasion fleet. The ship was struck by two torpedoes and sank in the early hours of March 1, 1942. 347 personnel were killed when the Perth sank. This story originally aired in 2012.

My Uncle Kenneth McClure, aged 22, went down on the Perth. God rest his soul.
May he rest in peace.
My grandfather survived the sinking and Jap captivity.
Can you please put the date when these were first shown in the description...thanks :D
Would like Channel 7 to research the loss of the 1000 plus POWs on The Montevideo Maru which was sunk off Luzon, Phillipines. 1942 it’s a story that not many know about.
It sounds very personal to you Sue. At moments like this i I wish I could play Auld Lang Syne on the bagpipes for the men who lost their lives on the Montevideo Maru
True legends
My Great Uncle was one of the ones who lost his life on board Perth

The perth is a war grave for those sailors lets hope she never be plundered for her metals like others have been
over 60% of the ship has been scraped ? china wants steel that's pre ww2 not radioactive ? and they are paying big $ for it
🌮 Thank You!
I think Yarra was braver, a corvette against three Japanese cruisers and destroyers in broad daylight.
Isnt it bad luck to rename a ship
Will you please stop calling it THE HMAS PERTH, it is simply HMAS PERTH, not THE HIS MAJESTYS’s SHIP PERTH. Clunking syntax.
