The two frigates may be small and insufficient but they do have teeth. The Te Kaha (I think) is the only ship to have found one of the rogue subs in the East Timor operation, and could have sunk it if it hadn't surfaced. That capability doesn't look cool or scary but is essential to protect other shipping in an emergency considering the number of submarines frequenting the South China Sea.

If my memory serves me correctly, I think it was actually the old Leander class frigate, HMNZS Canterbury that intially detected the "unidentified" submarine. |

Thought I saw Aotearoa alongside in Sydney, seems she's been busy.
