  ASW Exercise
In early 1966, the USS CHEVALIER DD-805 (a 1944 model Gearing) was paired against a conventional submarine for an ASW (Anti Submarine Warfare) (and anti-destroyer, from the sub’s point of view?) exercise.
CHEVALIER at that time was not in the “first string” for ASW, you might call her “second string” or even “third string” ASW wise.
CHEVALIER was given a score of 98 (out of 100) on the exercise (something stupid like a sailor forgetting to tuck his pants into his socks at GQ cost us a perfect score).

  Point Chevalier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The suburb is situated to the north of State Highway 16 and the campus of Unitec New Zealand and to the west of the suburb of Western Springs.
Whilst the tramlines were removed during the 1950s, the broadness of Point Chevalier Road - otherwise atypical for a fairly small suburb - and the paved-over roundabout terminus near Coyle Park both remain as evidence of their presence.
The main shopping area at the intersection of Point Chevalier Road and Great North Road was developed during the interwar period; the most notable of the buildings here is the former cinema, (1920s designed by Sinclear O'Conner) later known as the 'Ambassador' theatre (currently the Ambassador Bar).

 March 04 Staff Pick
Tracy Chevalier must have been an artist in a former life—she possesses the incredible ability to describe colours in a work of art, an artist's thoughts as a work progresses, and the impact of art on those who view it.
Her fourth novel, The Lady and the Unicorn, is a beautifully written piece of historical fiction focusing on a set of medieval tapestries that now hang in the Musée National du Moyen Age (Cluny) in Paris.
As Chevalier weaves the intricate story together, narrating it in turns by each of the characters—the painter, the tapissier, the weaver, and a number of women who are part of their lives—she recreates the world of fifteenth-century France and Belgium, its social customs for women, as well as its strict rules for painters and weavers.

 Avondale's History -- Down Memory Lane
At a meeting in Auckland on February 28th, it was approved by all the town boards involved, that they would build a concrete road over the often impassable clay road from Oakley Creek at Point Chevalier, all the way to the end of the Henderson Township.
The point of commencement will be at Blake St Avondale, and the paving will be pushed on as far as the Whau Creek bridge, after which the section from Blake St to Oakley Creek will be undertaken.
The flanges of the roadway would be arched, the edges being thicker than the centre of the roadway, thus giving more strength at the point where the greatest weight of traffic is supported.
