Unknown vessel at Naval Dockyard possibly newly commissioned HMNZS Manawanui (2019) originally built 2003 LOA 278′ TDISP 5,700 tons

Despite the attribution to the new Manawanui, we are doubtful of this identification. This vessel is similar, with the same distinctive paint scheme, but altogether has more structures at the stern.
