Navy
News wishes to correct an article that appeared on page six of
the December 18 edition
(Volume 46 No.23 Top
Story 19) regarding HMAS Kanimbla (CMDR Stephen Woodall) winning
the Gloucester Cup in the annual Fleet proficiency awards.
The article stated that Kanimbla had helped save eight Iraqi fishermen
and a sick man in the Indian Ocean while returning home from deployment.
This is not correct, as Kanimbla’s sister ship HMAS Manoora
(CMDR Martin Brooker) was the one involved.
Navy News apologises to the ship’s company of HMAS Manoora
for this oversight.
