HMAS SHOALHAVEN, (frigate), departed Shanghai on completion of her duties during the ‘AMETHYST incident’. The ship was at action stations for the passage from Whangpoo to Woosung, due to rumours that Communist forces were in the vicinity of the Woosung forts. The passage was completed without incident, and SHOALHAVEN returned to Kure, Japan, for duties with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force.
