HMAS Platypus (1917)
HMAS ''Platypus'' was a submarine depot ship and base ship operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) between 1919 and 1946. Ordered prior to World War I to support the Australian submarines ''AE1'' and ''AE2'', ''Platypus'' was not completed until after both submarines had been lost, and she was commissioned into the Royal Navy from 1917 to 1919.
After the RAN acquired six J class submarines, ''Platypus'' was recommissioned as an Australian warship. She was reroled as a destroyer tender after the J class was removed from service in the 1920s, tasked with supporting the two O class submarines during 1929 and 1930. After the submarines were placed in reserve, ''Platypus'' was renamed HMAS ''Penguin'' and operated as a depot ship until 1941. The ship assumed her old name and was relocated to Darwin, then Cairns for use as a base ship. After a refit in 1944, ''Platypus'' operated as a repair vessel in New Guinea waters until she was placed into reserve in 1946.
''Platypus'' was sold for scrap in 1958.
==Construction and acquisition==
''Platypus'' was ordered by the Australian government before the outbreak of the war to service the new E class submarines, ''AE1'' and ''AE2''. She was built by John Brown and Company at Clydebank in Scotland, and launched on 28 October 1916. By the time she was completed, both submarines had been lost, and she was instead commissioned into the Royal Navy on 21 March 1917.
