I am happy with the news, not happy with the number of air frames the Defence Minister said which is 5... they originally had 8 Seasprites across the fleet that was enough to have three air worthy (until age and spare parts hampered this) so why are starting off with five which is the number we have left in service now...
Two frigates, HMNZS Te Kaha, Te Mana, Aotearoa, Canterbury, Otago, Wellington and remember Canterbury can operate multiple helo's also thinking of her replacement with a proper LPD or small LHD and the future SOPV is back on the table five is simply not enough.
