H.M.S. DUNEDIN
Reconditioning in New
Zealand
Advice that Cabinet has approved a grant for the reconditioning in New Zealand of H.M.S. Dunedin was given to Mr. A. Harris, ALP., yesterday by the Alinister of Defence, Hon. J. G. Cobbe,
Thd work will be carried out at the Devonport (Auckland) naval base and will provide approximately three months’ work for a large number of men. H.M.S. Diomede was refitted at Devonport last year, that being the first occasion on which such a task had been performed in New Zealand. Previously it was customary for the cruisers to proceed to England'for their refits. It is understood that the cost of refitting here will be approximately the same as if the work were done in a British dockyard. It is expected the work will be put in hand in January.
