HMNZS TE MANA
DEPARTS CANADA
She arrived in Esquimalt, Canada, on 12 March 2019. On 30 May 2022, her Frigate Systems Upgrade complete, she had a special farewell from Lockheed Martin Canada, the Royal Canadian Navy and the Victoria Shipyards at Esquimalt. As gun salutes from ship and shore rang out around the harbour, TE MANA slowly sailed out of Victoria on the first leg of her voyage home.
