New Zealand has two new classes of patrol vessels, inshore ones and offshore ones. The article for the offshore patrol class is titled: " Protector class OPV", which seems reasonable. For consistency I suggest we rename this article "Protector class IPV" - Geronimo20 09:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
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
The page needs to be corrected and updated and on all pages related to it.
I have tried to get it right as far as I see it from the Navy's page and the delivers dates from other sources. Seems only one is active, with the others at various stages from seat trial to still being built. Ingolfson ( talk) 10:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
What was the operational role of these ships? They were basically unarmed and few sensors, and had limited speed, range or seaworthiness. Royalcourtier ( talk) 05:42, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
