The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) minehunter known as HMAS Gascoyne has visited Port Kembla for the first time in almost seven years. HMAS Gascoyne is part of the mine warfare clearance diving fleet. HMAS Gascoyne is presently doing exercises up and down the eastern seaboard. It recently found the wreckage of a pilot’s small plane that crashed into the ocean three months ago.
