Devonport Naval base welcomes HMNZS Aotearoa

Navy staff at the Devonport Base have welcomed their newest recruit - the HMNZS Aotearoa.
Measuring the length of two rugby fields and costing more than $500 million, Navy staff say the boat is breathtaking.
The new ship, built in Korea, was officially welcomed on the Waitemata harbour on Friday.
Flanked by dozens of sailboats and three Air Force planes, the HMNZS Aotearoa cruised into the Devonport Naval Base met by hundreds of excited Navy staff.
