Haere Mai Te Kaha. Great to have you back just in time for Christmas. She’s been away a while, but today #HMNZSTeKaha sailed back into the Devonport Naval Base where over 800 excited & emotional family & friends were waiting on the wharf to welcome the ship & crew back.
Te Kaha has undergone an extensive mid-life upgrade in Victoria, Canada where new surveillance, combat and self defence systems have been installed making her a modern and effective combat platform well into the 2030s. For the 140 crew onboard, enjoying a Kiwi Christmas and summer away from the Covid lock down conditions they went through in Canada will be top of their list.
He ponanga Kaha / Service with strength
