HMAS Kangaroo
HMAS ''Kangaroo'' was a Bar-class boom defence vessel of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Although originally ordered as a boom vessel, ''Kangaroo'' was as one point to be built as the prototype for what became the ''Bathurst'' class corvettes, but reverted to the boom defence design before construction started. Launched in 1940, the ship spent most of World War II operating the anti-submarine net in Darwin. ''Kangaroo'' remained in service until 1955, and after several years as an accommodation ship, was sold for scrapping in 1967.
==Design and construction==
In 1937, three ships were ordered by the RAN for use as Boom Defense Vessels.〔Stevens, ''A Critical Vulnerability'', p. 103〕 The plan was altered in early 1938 to require only two ships; the third, ''Kangaroo'' was earmarked to be constructed as a prototype local defense vessel.〔Stevens, ''A Critical Vulnerability'', pp. 103-104〕 The RAN's Director of Engineering was instructed to prepare plans for the ship in July 1938, which were completed six months later.〔Stevens, ''A Critical Vulnerability'', p. 104〕 The ship was to weigh 680 tons, with a speed of , and a range of .〔 ''Kangaroo'' would have been armed with two 4-inch guns and depth charges, and equipped with asdic.〔
Before construction could begin, the number of boom vessels was increased back to three, and ''Kangaroo'' was laid down to this design by Cockatoo Docks and Engineering Company on 15 November 1939.〔 ''Kangaroo'' was launched on 4 May 1940, and commissioned into the RAN on 27 September 1940. The unused design was later modified and used for the ''Bathurst'' class corvettes.
