Gun turret, perhaps from Achilles
Canterbury veterans of the former New Zealand warship Achilles have been told that all attempts to buy the vessel have failed, and she has gone to the breakers yard. The Government had looked at proposals to buy Achilles from her present owner, the Indian Government. But the cost of making her seaworthy would have been prohibitive, and possibly a gun turret will be bought instead. The turret will probably go to the Museum of Transport and Technology, in Auckland.
