7月9日新西兰新闻部消息，面向未来的HMNZS Te Mana回家了。《新西兰报》也非常荣幸的收到有关部门邮件通知，请报备参加名单。
经过三年多的加拿大经历广泛的系统升级，新西兰皇家海军护卫舰HMNZS Te Mana和她的170名船员今天与国防部长佩尼·埃纳雷(Peeni Henare)一起驶入Watematā港，参加隆重的返校仪式。
佩尼·埃纳雷说:”政府致力于确保新西兰国防军拥有他们所需的资产和设备，以继续他们代表新西兰所做的令人难以置信的工作，这就是为什么我们自上任以来已承诺向12个主要防御能力项目提供约45亿纽币，包括为护卫舰系统升级工作方案增加1.48亿纽币的资金。
无论是在太平洋的救灾，全球的维和行动，还是保护我们和我们邻国的海洋，国防军都让新西兰人感到自豪，而我们的护卫舰 – 国防军最灵活的资产之一，是这项工作的关键贡献者。
今天，Te Mana在为护卫舰系统升级进行了大量工作之后回到了家中。这些升级使护卫舰的自卫和战斗系统面向未来，达到与澳大利亚，加拿大和英国使用的护卫舰有相当的标准，使它们能够继续以各种角色运行，直到它们在2030年代中期退役”。
护卫舰系统升级是由国防部监督并由洛克希德·马丁加拿大公司承担的复杂工作方案，该公司提供了新的雷达，电子探测和其他水上系统，自卫导弹系统，针对导弹和鱼雷的诱饵，对船体安装声纳的升级以及集成这些升级的战斗管理系统。
在剥离遗留系统后，承包商于2018年5月在HMNZS Te Kaha上开始了该项目的安装阶段，并于2019年5月开始在HMNZS Te Mana上工作，并在整个COVID-19大流行期间继续进行。
“Te Mana已经离开了很长时间，刚刚航行了12，000多公里才能回家，你可以告诉船上的公司迫不及待地想看到。
但他们也为他们的船感到非常自豪，这将为新西兰皇家海军的行动做出重大贡献，同时与多国任务组一起部署。 护卫舰现在将进行一系列试验、测试和演习，以逐步释放该船的作战能力”佩尼·埃纳雷说
8 July，Future-proofed HMNZS Te Mana arrives home
After over three years away in Canada undergoing an extensive systems upgrade, the Royal New Zealand Navy frigate HMNZS Te Mana and her 170-strong crew sailed into the Waitematā Harbour today with Minister of Defence Peeni Henare on board for its ceremonial homecoming.
“The Government is committed to ensuring that the New Zealand Defence Force have the assets and equipment they need to continue the incredible work they do on behalf of New Zealand, which is why we have committed approximately $4.5 billion to 12 major defence capability projects since taking office, including a $148 million funding boost for the Frigate Systems Upgrade work programme,” Peeni Henare said.
“Whether it is disaster relief in the Pacific, peace keeping operations around the globe, or securing our oceans and those of our neighbours, the Defence Force make New Zealanders proud, and our frigates – one of the Defence Force’s most flexible assets – are a key contributor to that work. “Today, Te Mana returns home following extensive work for the Frigate Systems Upgrade.
The upgrades future-proof the frigates’ self-defence and combat systems to a standard comparable to the frigates used by Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, allowing them to continue to operate in a full range of roles until they are retired in the mid-2030s,” Peeni Henare said.
The Frigate Systems Upgrade is a complex programme of work overseen by the Ministry of Defence and undertaken by Lockheed Martin Canada, which delivered new radars, electronic detection and other above water systems, the self-defence missile system, decoys against missiles and torpedoes, an upgrade to the hull-mounted sonar, and the combat management system that integrates these upgrades.
After stripping out legacy systems, the contractor began the project’s installation phase in May 2018 on HMNZS Te Kaha, with work commencing on HMNZS Te Mana in May 2019, and continuing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Te Mana has been away for a long time, and has just sailed over 12,000 km to get home, and you can tell the ship’s company can’t wait to see Aotearoa,” Peeni Henare said.
“But they’re also very proud of their ship, which will make a significant contribution to Royal New Zealand Navy operations, and while on deployment with multinational task groups.
“The frigate will now undertake a series of trials, tests and exercises, to progressively release the ship’s operational capabilities,” Peeni Henare said.
