New Warships.
6 ‘ new destroyers Eclipse and Esk, called after British warships which served in the Maori Wars, 1863-65, have recently been laid down, and the branch is uniting with the other branches in New Zealand to present to these new ships commemoration plates,” states the annual report of the Wellington branch of the Navy League. “ These plates will shortly be completed and put oil view before being dispatched to England, where Sir James Grose, on behalf of the New Zealand branches, will present them.” Reference is also made in the report to the compliment the Admiralty has paid New Zealand by naming one of the new sloops 11.M.5. Wellington. This warship is to replace the sloop Laburnum, and is due in New Zealand waters early next year.
