The costs to upgrade the ship Te Mana, and before it Te Kaha, have blown out to between $600 million and $700m, due in part to project management mistakes.

I am getting sick of seeing this in the NZDF as a whole... I don't know what has happening to the NZDF but it's morals have gone down hill since I left. Sort it out. The officer/crew member should not have been able to get away with this behavior in any form.
And while it does nothing for Jennifer now, I apologise that it happened, and if this had happened on my watch the person involved would have had fingers slammed in a hatch as is closed (by accident)

Confusion reigns in discussions about the cost of the Department of Defence’s equipment projects. Whether we’re talking about media articles, parliamentary committee hearings, letters to the editor, duelling internet commentators or any other forms of discourse that address Defence acquisitions, the only thing that’s clear is that we’re almost always talking past each other when it comes to the cost of military equipment. Defence doesn’t help when it releases only a bare minimum of information. This sorry state of affairs reached its peak several years ago, when it turned out that when Defence said that the cost of the Attack-class submarine was $50 billion it really meant that the cost was somewhere around $90 billion.
