Best Answer

During World War II, in May 1942, three Japanese submarines entered Sydney Harbour and attempted to bomb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Their bombs completely missed the bridge, but did manage to hit the naval depot ship HMAS Kuttabul, which was a converted harbour ferry that was not being used by civilians. Nineteen Australian and two British sailors on the Kuttabul died.
