NEW ZEALAND'S LARGEST-EVER NAVY SHIP CHRISTENEDThe Royal New Zealand Navy’s largest-ever ship, Aotearoa, has been christened at Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea. The NZ$493 million Aotearoa is a new Polar-class support vessel that will replace the now decommissioned tanker HMNZS Endeavour to provide global sustainment to New Zealand and coalition maritime, land and air units. Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand. The literal translation of Aotearoa is "land of the long white cloud."..... www.maritime-executive.com/article/new-zealand-s-largest-ever-navy-ship-christened
