HMNZS CANTERBURY, the Royal New Zealand Navy’s amphibious sealift ship, will sail from Devonport Naval Base on June 3, for a three-month deployment around the Pacific Ocean starting with the world’s largest naval exercise, the month-long Exercise RIMPAC.

The ship and her crew of 124, which includes seven Army and eight Air Force personnel, will join other units from the NZ Defence Force for Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC 2014), conducted near Hawaii from 25 June to 1 August.

Exercise RIMPAC, held every two years, is a multinational exercise that takes place in and around the Hawaiian Islands. Twenty-three nations, more than 40 surface ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are expected to participate this year.

After RIMPAC, CANTERBURY will take part in a smaller regional military exercise ‘Croix du Sud’ based in Noumea, New Caledonia.
