Many sailors died on board the sunken ships in Darwin Harbour - some 80 odd went down with the USS Peary alone.

It was of interest to me when I was posted there in 91/92 that the Japs were allowed salvage rights after the War, to the vessels they sunk in the harbour, yet we proclaimed the I- 124 ( a Jap sub wreck just off Darwin) a war grave and it is protected as such.
