HMAS
Karangi was a Bar class net laying defense vessel laid
down by Cockatoo Dockyard & Engineering Company in
Sydney, and was launched for the Royal Australian Navy in
August 1941. She served until she was stricken from the
Navy lists in 1964, and earned herself one Battle Award
during her operations in World War Two. In
1966, the Maritime Services Board approved a section of
Homebush Bay for use as a shipwreck yard, and after she
was sold in September 1966 for scrapping, she was
partially rigged down in the Bay. She was abandoned four
years later, and the overgrown wreck still stand there
clearly visible on the surface in Paramatta River. Also
see the adjacent wrecks of the abandoned old steamer Ayrfield and the tug boat Heroic.
