New Zealand Navy ship sinks off Samoa

A Royal New Zealand Navy vessel, the Manawanui, ran aground and sank off Samoa during a reef survey, but all 75 crew and passengers were safely rescued.

The incident occurred near Upolu’s southern coast, and several vessels and a Royal New Zealand Air Force P-8A Poseidon assisted in the rescue.

The cause of the grounding is under investigation.

The vessel, which cost NZ$103 million in 2018, capsized and sank by Sunday morning, as reported by NBC News.
