NAVAL BUILDING
* BOOM DEFENCE SHIP LAUNCHED AT SYDNEY. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. SYDNEY, October 30. The newest unit in the Australian navy, described as a boom defence ship designed to maintain the nets of the booms used for anti-submarine work, was launched at the Cockatoo Dockyard yesterday and officially named Kookaburra by Mrs P. McNeil,' wife of the Director of Naval Engineering.
The new vessel, which is 130 feet long, is a strange-looking craft. Her bows are fitted with apparatus similar to that of cable steamers.
