It would be nice if they can come home via the South China Sea, just to test the waters ....

Anyone know if there is any truth to what I heard and that is Te Mana is only about 2 months behind Te Kaha now? From what I heard the main issue was there was a mixup in some of the cabling that got ripped out from Te Kaha... and a Kiwi company that had an electronic database system (where yard were apparently happy with an old paper trail system) and had dealt with the ANZACS before was sent over to help sort and track some of the cabling issues. Meaning that Te Mana was able to stay target and be quicker etc... Now makes me wonder if they bought the database of the kiwi company ... lol I don't know the dates but apparently Te Mana is due back next year sometime roughly on original schedule and Te Kaha way behind schedule due but back by years end. |

Perhaps the should re-equip the Navy with P-3s or C-130s- they last longer!
