MURUROA COMMUNICATORS
As you are aware two ships from our Navy HMNZS OTAGO and HMNZS CANTERBURY went to Mururoa in 1973. The question is, who was the Comms Crew on each ship? There appears to be no complete listing available. Provide your list of names by leaving a comment and we will build the list on the blog. Thanks
