Фотогалерея Замок HMAS (J244), HMAS Castlemaine (J244/M244/A248), named for the city of Castlemaine, Victoria, was one of 60 Bathurst-class corvettes constructed during World War II, and one of 36 initially manned and commissioned solely by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Launched in 1941 and commissioned in 1942, Castlemaine operated during World War II in the waters of Australia, New Guinea, and Timor. She remained in service until 1945, when she was decommissioned into reserve and converted into an immobilised training ship. In 1973, Castlemaine was presented to the Maritime Trust of Australia for conversion of a museum ship. She is one of two surviving examples of the Bathurst class, the other being HMAS Whyalla.

Більше інформації:

HMAS Castlemaine (J244) was one of 60 Bathurst-class corvettes built for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during World War II. She was launched in 1941 and commissioned in 1942. She served in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, escorting convoys, performing anti-submarine patrols, and supporting amphibious landings. She was involved in several actions against Japanese forces, including the Battle of the Bismarck Sea and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
She also participated in the liberation of Borneo and the occupation of Japan. She was decommissioned in 1945 and transferred to the Melbourne Harbour Trust as a training ship. In 1973, she was restored as a museum ship and is now berthed at Gem Pier in Williamstown, Victoria. She is one of only two surviving Bathurst-class corvettes in Australia, along with HMAS Whyalla.
