US EditionCrew of New Zealand navy ship which sank off Samoa lacked training, experience, an inquiry finds
- The HMNZS Manawanui, a New Zealand navy ship, sank off Samoa in October 2024 after running aground on a reef.
- A Court of Inquiry was convened after the sinking to investigate the causes and contributing factors.
- The 120-page report revealed multiple failures involving the crew, the ship itself, and the wider Navy.
- Investigators determined the crew did not disengage autopilot, resulting in the ship maintaining a course toward the reef; one crew member said, "the ship was not really doing what I want it to do."
- The report exposed a lack of adequate training and experience, leading to calls for military improvements after the incident; all 75 people evacuated safely.
