HMNZS Aotearoa (Māori: [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]), formerly the Maritime Sustainment Capability project, is an auxiliary ship of the Royal New Zealand Navy. Builder Hyundai Heavy Industries delivered the ship to the Navy in June 2020,[5] and she was commissioned into service on 29 July 2020. Full operational capability is expected to be achieved in 2021.[7] It will serve as a replenishment oiler, and will replace HMNZS Endeavour, the Navy’s last fleet oiler, decommissioned in December 2017.
Aotearoa is the largest ship the Royal New Zealand Navy has operated
