It isn't a local one of mine, but it's one of my favourites, if not my favourite, and the one I find most poignant. The stone outside of Devonshire Cemetery in Mametz... (Not my photo, it's from the web)

USS Peary DD226 Memorial located Darwin Australia.
Sunk in the first Japanese bombing attack on Australia on the 19 February 1942.
The gun barrel points in the direction where the ship lies, the last photo shows the underwater state,
mainly the engine and keel parts. (and a LOT of fish...)
RIP.
