HMNZS Taranaki history

As you are aware by now HMNZS Taranaki was commissioned on Monday 27 March 1961 and decommissioned on Friday 18 JUne 1982. Over those 21 years, tens of 1,000's of miles was travelled by our belovered "Tiddly T" and about 2500 crew members served aboard.

We have been fortunate to receive a database of each port sailing and arrival from the Navy Museum (thanks Brian Burford). I intend creating a searchable database in the next few months (I have to learn how to do it first), but in the meantime, I am please to add the details as a .pdf file in the meantime. It is approx 127k (should not take long to download) and consists of 46 pages of which you can view or print out. Click here to download now Below is an idea of how you will see it
