HMNZS Tui (T234)
HMNZS ''Tui'' (T234) was a ''Bird'' class minesweeper of the Royal New Zealand Navy. She was commissioned in 1941 for minesweeping and anti-submarine roles.
''Tui'' was the first of two ships with this name to serve in the Royal New Zealand Navy and was named after a native bird from New Zealand.
==War service==
In March 1942 in Scotland, ''Tui'' and the four ''Isles'' class trawlers, ''Killegray'', ''Inchkeith'', ''Sanda'' and ''Scarba'' had been newly built for New Zealand. They were formed into a flotilla and departed from the River Clyde with a convoy bound for Canada. The trawler flotilla then left for Auckland, arriving there in August.
In Auckland ''Tui'' was assigned to the 25th Minesweeping Flotilla and sailed for Suva to replace ''Matai''. In December she joined her sister ships ''Kiwi'' and ''Moa'' at Nouméa. The 25th Minesweeping Flotilla had been offered to COMSOPAC, and by early December ''Tui'', ''Moa'', and ''Kiwi'' with ''Matai'' as flotilla leader, were all together at Nouméa ready to move north. They sailed for the Solomons, escorting a convey some of the way. Making Tulagi their base they began anti-submarine screen patrols on 19 December 1942 off Tulagi and Lunga Point, Guadalcanal.
