NEW ZEALAND NAVY
Captain Parry Appointed Commodore Captain W. E. Parry, 0.8., R.N., of H.M.-S. Achilles, has been appointed to the rank of Commodore Second Class as first naval member of the New Zealand Naval Board, Chief of the Naval Staff, and Commodore Commanding New Zealand Squadron, while continuing in command of H.M.S. Achilles, to date May 1,1940. In making this announcement yesterday, the Minister of Defence, Mr. Jones, said that Commodore Horan had relinquished the rank of commodore, but was continuing in command of H.M.S Leander in the rank of captain. This change has become necessary because H.M.S. Leander is now employed upon service which prevents Commodore Horan carrying out the duties of Chief of the Naval Staff and Commodore commanding the squadron.
