Welcoming the Royal Navy Royal Navy Offshore Patrol Vessel HMS Tamar and HMNZS Taupo conducted an ‘in-company’ entry into Auckland harbour last week.
It’s rare for HMNZS Taupo to lead another ship into harbour as typically this is done by the senior ship. However, as Tamar is visiting New Zealand, Taupo escorted them safely in.
The exercise topped off a ‘sea check’ week for HMNZS Taupo, with the Maritime Training Group on board putting the ship through its paces and confirming Taupo is operating at the required standard.
