Tours reveal intimate details about living and serving aboard the 89 metre long vessel. Amongst controls, sensors, tactical equipment and torpedoes, 63 people lived and served aboard the vessel in extremely cramped conditions. Guided tours of the submarine leave every half hour from 10am - 3.30pm from the WA Maritime Museum. The guided tours take approximately one hour.
