HMNZS Manawanui sinking: NZ Navy ship ran aground


All 75 aboard the ship have been accounted for.

Defence Minister Judith Collins and Chief of Navy Rear Admiral Garin Golding fronted a media conference in Auckland on Sunday on the sinking of HMNZS Manawanui off the coast of southern Samoa. Defence Minister Judith Collins, speaking alongside the Chief of Navy at a media conference at the Devonport Naval Base this afternoon, said it was very dark and an “extraordinary feat” of keeping people together. The firefighters posted a series of photos showing Navy personnel being taken ashore on inflatable boats, including one distressed man being stretchered off and placed in an ambulance.
