BUILDING TRAWLERS
STEEL NOT AVAILABLE Supplies of Australian steel are still not available to start the building of the first steel minesweeper at Auckland. Three composite trawlers have been launched at Auckland and three steel minesweepers are to bo built here. The work on the three composite trawlers, H.M.N.Z.S. Hinau, Rimu and Manuka, is not being held up by any shortage of materials and they are now equipped with wheelhouses and the decks have been laid. There is still a largo amount of internal work to be done and it is expected it will be some months before the vessels will be ready to be commissioned.
