Post HMNZS Canterbury: Dive Attraction

The former frigate HMNZS Canterbury stopped in Auckland yesterday for a scrub before heading up to the Bay of Islands to become a dive attraction.

The clean-up, which saw the 113.4m frigate waterblasted clean on a dry dock, was done to prevent sea squirt from being transferred into Northland's waters.

It is believed the pest established itself on the frigate's hull while she spent two years sitting tied up in Canterbury after being decommissioned.
Conditions of the resource consent granted to sink the frigate in Deepwater Cove, Cape Brett, required that it be free of unwanted organisms such as sea squirt.

Re: HMNZS Canterbury: Dive Attraction

Is anyone planning to dive her, once she is sunk?
