Talk:Patrol boats of the Royal New Zealand Navy

Class for the IPV

I bearly understand where the Protector class name for these vessels came from. However they are "Lake Class" replacing the older lake class IPC's. (even though there were years in between the old and new) ... also the names all lakes in New Zealand two in the North Island (Taupo, Rotoiti) and two in the South (Pukaki, Hawea), pennant numbers are the same and are a carryover etc...

It says they were replacing the Moa class IPC's, well actually no they weren't, 7 Moa class were built and 4 became reservist craft/vessels and stationed around the various reservist bases, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin one became the dive tender and two were painted white and were inshore survey... they were never actually replaced, they hardly never did long patrols outside of their area of influence and were mainly to keep the training for the reserves ... they did the odd patrol... but not like the older Lake IPC's ... whereas, the current IPV's do and have the carryover names and pennant numbers.

The Protector-class is the OPV's HMNZS Wellington and Otago. HMNZS CANTERBURY is a Protector-class "amphibious and military sealift vessel"

On the Navy Website the IPV's are classed as "Lake Class" http://navy.mil.nz/mtf/rotoiti/default.htm
