The Bathurst class minesweeper, (corvette), HMAS ARMIDALE, (LCDR D. H. Richards, RANR(S)), was commissioned. ARMIDALE was laid down in Mort’s Dock, Balmain, Sydney, on 1 September 1941, and launched on 23 January 1942. The Reverend A. G. Rix performed the ceremony, which was a floating rather than a launching.
