Navy Today - Issue 289, July 2024

In our July edition we showcase the regeneration of frigate HMNZS Te Kaha as it builds up for its 2025 overseas deployments. HMNZS Matataua works with NZ Customs to intercept a drugs shipment attached to a ship's hull, while HMNZS Manawanui helps clear explosive remnants of war from a harbour in Vanuatu. HMNZS Taupo works with MPI to inspect fishing vessels in the South Islands and a team from HMNZS Ngapona travel to Ireland to help them kick-start their Inshore Patrol Vessels (purchased from New Zealand).
