New Zealand had a navy?

Time to invade!!
Knew what is was before I clicked, always a good one :D
Hahaha fucking funny eh
Not any more, anyway.
Mongolia and Bolivia have Navies
Yep. They even have a submarine now.
This is very atypical, did the front fall off?
that’s not supposed to happen. front’s not designed for that.
It’s rather ironic that the crew of a ship designed to map the ocean floor couldn’t tell where the seabed was.
Ignoring the typical reddit comments that seem to have followed.
-
yes, NZ has a navy. Its not massive, isn’t going to win any wars and should probably be bigger considering we have the 5th largest EEZ in the world… but our total population is a medium city spread out over an area 1/4 of Europe so we do what we can.
-
its not the first time one of our survey ships have run around, but its the first in decades.
-
regardless of the cause CO, XO, OOW and NAV will take the blame. Saying that, it is interesting that our armed forces have been under staffed, under equipped and under trained for decades. Is there a cultural cause, lack of maintenance, incorrect SSO? Was it running at condition 1Z, were they where they thought they were, did they have to be there to do their job, what damage was taken and what was the response? Was the CO right to abandon ship and save lives in peace, or risk lives to save the ship?

they beached the ship! it was beached is!
(Invidious link)
Want a chup?
Nah, can’t chew bro.
Haha I thought they were saying ‘beached as’ like ‘beached as fuck’
I believe that’s the origin yeah. It just sounds like “is” instead of “as” cuz kiwi accent lol
I understand the grounding…But what caused the fire?
Wasn’t made safe, fuel on board, hot things falling onto burnny things. Arching, things breaking, wrapped sparky things becoming unwrapped.
Looks like its coming from superstructure, so could be engine room fire venting out.
