Brock you are such an inspiration to so many people. You certainly make us all so proud of you, your family and your chosen career. Well done to you and the NZ Navy
I was fortunate enough to be on his ship under his command and guidance for a month when I was on my final sea phase when I went for my navigation training in NZ back in 2018. Down to earth CO, well done Sir
He commissioned from the ranks as a Warfare officer, and the CO position on an ipv is only a lieutenant position so especially compared to larger vessels like the frigates you can step into the caption role alot earlier
