Summary

Description
English: At the submarine base at New Farm, Brisbane, Australia, the main hull of the U.S. Navy submarine USS Growler (SS-215) is pointed towards the CSR Sugar Refinery across the Brisbane River but her battered bow is pointing towards Hawthorne. Following the collision with a Japanese patrol boat on 7 February 1943, Growler docked 17 February for extensive repairs. Following the refit, the submarine was nicknamed the "Kangaroo Express", as the refabricated bow had two nickel kangaroos as decorations.
