HMNZS Wellington (F69)
HMNZS ''Wellington'' was a Leander class frigate of the Royal Navy and the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN). Originally commissioned in 1969 for the Royal Navy as HMS ''Bacchante'', she joined the RNZN in 1982. She was decommissioned in 1999 and sunk in 2005.
==Refit==
On arrival in New Zealand, ''Wellington'' was decommissioned and entered an extended refit which ended in 1986. The limited modernization proved difficult and took an unexpected 4 years. When inspected prior to purchase in 1981, she was in the condition expected for a Royal Navy frigate after a dozen years' service. However, in 1982 the frigate conducted a four-month winter patrol in the postwar Falklands exclusion zone with the other four RN unmodernised Leanders. Sea conditions in the Falkland exclusion zone meant more expensive hull repair was needed. Large-scale energy projects in New Zealand, particularly Marsden Point, resulted in a loss of key dockyard staff and recruitment difficulties. The installation of additional fuel tanks to extend the range of South Pacific operations proved difficult and dirty work. A new gunnery control system (RCA-76) along with surface and navigation radar were fitted, escape hatches were enlarged and asbestos was removed.〔Christchurch Star, 1985 & Cmdr R.Martin (1985- interview, Salmond College).〕 The original estimated cost of transferring and refitting ''Bacchante'' and ''Dido'' to RNZN was $100m in 1981. By 1985 it reached $263m 〔Christchurch Star 1985)〕 Other minor changes were also made as a result of practical experiences of British frigates during the Falklands War.
Later refits saw new long-range air surveillance radar in place of the old 965 bedstead, and the original Seacat missile removed and replaced by the Phalanx CIWS.
