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 but was not being used by civilians. Nineteen Australian and two British sailors on the Kuttabul died.
Naturally, it was a frightening time for people living in Sydney, but many did not hear about the incident immediately. It increased suspicion among the Australians for some time. This attack occurred in the midst of over a hundred air raid bombings on northern Australia, including the first bombing of Darwin which killed over 240 civilians and military personnel.
