Attack Force Z boat saved, for now

HDML 1321 in her prime.

HDML 1321, AKA the MV Rushcutter, was a historic motor launch of the Royal Australian Navy that was used to ferry Z Special Force commandos behind Japanese lines in the Southwest Pacific during WWII.

Saved from the scrappers after the war, she was in civilian service until a few years ago and then left to sink in Darwin Harbour. However, she was been rescued by a group of volunteers who plan on preserving her.

It is going to take some work.
