Take a 360° Tour of the New Zealand navies newest addition to its fleet, the Dive & Hydrographic Vessel HMNZS Manawanui For the best viewing experience use with goggles. #Force4NZ #NZNavy
I hope this is NZ vessel at the 2020 fleet review in the Philippines With all the big fighting ships that will be there this will be an eye catcher and should attract interest
Only if the deck can handle the heat from the rear nozzles. And to take off vertically the Harrier would not be able to carry much payload/fuel/weapons. Same with F35B.
What a terrific ship!... love the bridge... nice touch with the timber work around the windows and floor... With our two heavy frigates and highly capable offshore patrol boats as well as the Canterbury and the mighty Aotearoa I think we've got a very capable blue water navy indeed...😉👍
The govt would rather see Australia invest in more frigates so they can ride their coattails. Our govt will instead pump more money into welfare and half arsed roads that last 2 weeks before needing more repairs.
Eh? Surely you jest. Our two Anzac class frigates underwent a 650 million dollar refit over the last few years. All systems including new gun emplacement, radar, sonar, and missile silos with new CAMM missiles. They are state of the art now. Good to go for another ten to 12 years. Then again our Seasprites have test fired the penguin missiles and P3 too with guided bombs. Don't think our OPV need more than a Seasprite and 4 mounted 50 calibre machine guns to handle smugglers and pirates or poachers 😆
