Happy Birthday, RNZN! This morning six members of the Navy, including three from HMNZS Manawanui (CO, XO and POET) scaled the Auckland Bridge in order to raise the white ensign to mark the start of the Navy 78th Birthday. A great way to start the day watching Auckland people head to work from above!

Navy raise the White Ensign on Auckland Harbour Bridge to celebrate the Navy’s 78th birthday.
