Memorial recognises Japanese submariners

The names of a Japanese submarine captain and his crew, who died in World War II battle with an Australian navy corvette, now feature on a memorial plaque on Darwin's coast, marking the 80th anniversary of the attack.

There were 80 men on board the sub I-124 that had been waging covert operations before it was sunk by HMAS Deloraine on January 20, 1942.

No bodies were recovered from the now-heritage protected wreck, which rests in deep water between Darwin Harbour and Bathurst Island.
