EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Australian submarine HMAS J4 (HM Australian Submarine J4) is seen moored at Port Melbourne, Australia, in the year 1920. The submarine, which was formerly known as HMS J4 in the British Royal Navy, was one of six submarines transferred to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) following the end of World War I. The image captures the submarine's imposing presence against the backdrop of the harbor, with the Australian flag proudly flying atop the conning tower. The submarine's sleek design and intricate details are on full display, from the periscope protruding from the conning tower to the intricate propeller at the rear. At the time of the photograph, the RAN was still in its infancy, having only been established in 1911. The acquisition of these submarines marked a significant expansion of the navy's capabilities and represented a major investment in Australia's defense. The submarines were primarily used for coastal defense and intelligence gathering, and their arrival heralded a new era in Australia's naval history. The 1920s were a period of great change in Australia, with the country experiencing significant economic and social growth. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the technological advances of the time and the role that the navy played in shaping Australia's future. Today, HMAS J4 is a cherished part of Australia's maritime heritage, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role that the submarine played in the country's naval history. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the RAN and the vital role that the navy continues to play in protecting Australia's interests at home and abroad.
