AUSTRALIAN NAVY
FIVE OBSOLETE SHIPS [ Australian Press Assn. ] SYDNEY, Oct. 1. Five ships of the Australian navy now in reserve are to be broken up. They are the destroyers Parramatta, Yarra, Warrego and Swan, and the former depot ship Penguin. Every ship is now classed as obsolete and the decision to scrap them is hastened by the needs for departmental economy. Each vessel has a fine war record.
