HMNZS ''Manawanui'' (A09) was commissioned in 1988 as a diving support vessel for the Royal New Zealand Navy. Originally she was built as a diving support vessel, the ''Star Perseus'', for North Sea oil rig operations. ''Manawanui'' is the third ship with this name to serve in the New Zealand Navy. Manawanui is a Māori word meaning "to be brave or steadfast". ''Manawanui'' has a capability to hold station over a fixed position. She has a triple lock recompression chamber, a crane with 13 tonne lifting capacity, wet diving bell and a small engineering workshop. She also has limited deck cargo carrying capacity. The divers of the New Zealand Navy who work onboard ''Manawanui'' are trained for deep diving with mixed gases, underwater demolition and unexploded ordnance disposal. An ROV operated from the ''Manawanui'' returned photos of the wreck of the MV ''Princess Ashika'', which sank near Ha'apai, Tonga on 5 August 2009. ==See also== * Diving tenders of the Royal New Zealand Navy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMNZS Manawanui (A09)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
