(N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, July 3.
The Navy minesweeper, H.M.N.Z.S. Inverell, arrives back in Auckland today after completing a 3700-mile ocean navigation and seamanship training cruise to Australia and New Caledonia. Inverell, a Bathurst class minesweeper, left Auckland early in June with a group of trainees from H.M.N.Z.S. Tamaki, the Navy training establishment in Auckland.
She spent 10 days in Sydney and while there a group of 20 officers and ratings flew to Inverell, the New South Wales town after which the ship was named. The Inverell visited Brisbane and Noumea before returning.
