Comparing before and after HMNZS Te Kaha Refit.
Now I can not name every new bit of grebbly on the mast some will be simple navigation lights and others I am not 100% sure, which dome is which for gun control and Sea Ceptor or CAMM post-launch guidance boxes and to be fair I pretty sure I have some wrong what I have covered... lol (hey at least I admit it.) Also till we get some decent close ups of various additions you are going to have to just believe me.
ANZAC class frigate in the New Zealand Navy at the Devonport Navy Base in Auckland. 2007
Before and after image HMNZS in the Cook Strait 2011 and after upgrades 2020.
Same image with out the coloured shadows for reference.
- What upgrades are our frigates getting.
- A few more photo's of HMNZS Te Kaha back at sea.
- Options for the NZDF and RNZN 2nd enhanced Sealift vessel
- Why do I think the Endurance 170 LHD is a good choice for the RNZN.
The upgraded ANZAC frigate will get her Phalanx CIWS system back once sea trials are completed. HMNZS Te Kaha is due back in Auckland on Sunday the 20th December 2020.
Update for those that were worried she was not getting her CIWS back.
HMNZS Te Kaha Post refit all painted and CIWS reinstalled.
