MV Bulolo, a former armed merchant cruiser now cruise ship, is on her last voyage in 1968 to Taiwan for her fate with the shipbreakers. However, fate itself has other plans for the formerly great Australian ship as she is sunk in a storm prior to he...
Dawin: Oberon-class submarine, you are now in the presence of Royal Navy-Australia Force warship HMAS Darwin. Please state your name, pennant and intentions.
????: D... Darwin? It's SSG-62.
Darwin: (Realises who it was, remembering that pennant number, and gasps) Otama?
Darwin was in a state of confusion and shock. She remembered HMAS Otama back in her old world, one of the RAN's Oberon-class diesel-electric attack submarines that was known as the "Gucci Boat" and last she remembered, the submarine was rusting away near a headland in Victoria.
"Otama": But... it can't be... unless...
Darwin: Wait... you were scrapped too?! Please surface. Need to be sure it is indeed you.
"Otama": Alright. Just hold on for a second.
Darwin ran to her ship's bridge wing on the starboard side as the contact was approaching from that side. As she peered into the fog, she could see a disturbance in the water as a hulking shape emerged from the depths. It looked like a submarine but it was black with a tall but round conning tower and a large bump on its bow. Unlike most submarines, this on lacked a deck gun for some strange reason. It was when she noticed the badge on the side of the conning tower that it confirmed everything.

Darwin: I knew it, I fucking knew it! That is 100% my old friend Otama! The Gucci Boat is here! Wait until AE2 sees this.
A figure appearing to be in her late-teens wearing a black and white wetsuit. She had what looked to be either black or really dark blue hair and deep green eyes, along with a skin tone that Darwin could quickly tell was a tan instead of a natural skin colour.
Otama: I didn't expect the last of our Yankee-built Adelaides to be here. G'day, young Darwin.

Darwin: Bloody hell. Your ship's in much better shape than the time it was last seen. How the hell did you end up in this world?
Otama: Parks Victoria seized me and sold me for scrap. I was broken up at Henderson, WA despite the society that bought me originally wanted me spared.
