English: Mrs Michael Joseph McKew, wife of the Director of Evans Deakin Shipyards in Brisbane, launching the Bathurst class corvette HMAS Broome on 6 October 1941
Broome was a 650-ton Australian Minesweeper (populary referred to as a corvette) built by Evans Deakin & Company Ltd., Brisbane. Broome commenced her operational service on 19 October 1942 when she joined a Sydney-to-Brisbane convoy off Newcastle. She parted from the convoy off Moreton Bay and proceeded to Townsville and then to Cairns. Until mid November 1942, the ship was engaged on anti-submarine patrols and escort duties in the North Queensland area, when she transferred to New Guinea waters for similar work in the Port Moresby and Milne Bay areas. |
