  • ... that the Royal New Zealand Navy dive and hydrographic vessel Manawanui (pictured) sank off Samoa in October 2024?
  • Source: "The HMNZS Manawanui, a specialist dive and hydrographic vessel worth $100m, sank this morning after it ran aground on a reef off the coast of the Samoan island of Upolu and caught fire last night." from: "He said losing one of the Navy's five crewed ships, the first to be lost in peacetime, was "significant"." from: "HMNZS Manawanui crew and passengers rescued after ship runs aground in Samoa".

That's not referenced anywhere, and doesn't have a good connection to the ship given its RNZN hull number was A09. Nick-D (talk) 00:40, 12 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

OK, an interesting coincidence, but not significant to anything. (Given enough data, coincidences can always be found.) BMJ-pdx (talk) 16:08, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dispute over the amount of oil leaked

edit

The New Zealand government doesnt believe the ship has leaked 200,000 litres of oil. This story on the Australian ABC has a photo that purports to be of the sunken ship, which certainly does not show a massive oil spill. The NZ government also disputes the amount of diesel leaked.
