In the Hauraki Gulf the Royal Naval Submarine Anchorite struck what is now known as Anchorite Rock, a pinnacle, well known to commercial fishermen but not by the hydrographer.
Although she was only doing three knots most lost their footing. It was tot time and the CPO’s finished their tot in record time in the prone position and the boat was surfaced with some alacrity.
There was only minor damage to the stem.
