Talk:HMNZS Canterbury (F421)

Addition not in Encyclopedia format
Somebody has recently placed a section of text into the article. I am assuming in good faith, and I'll even assume he's correct in what he is talking about- but this wasn't in a format appropriate for an encyclopedia article. I have removed most (and placed all here) until we have some refs. Ingolfson (talk) 23:50, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The wreck was sold to Te Rawhiti Enterprises for one dollar ( the same amount that the Canterbury Trust Paid the NZ Navy) on 15th July 2008, and the Trust was wound up and dissolved on 17th November 2008. The local Hapu will manage and market the wreck as their own to preserve their local heritage and preserve and enhance fish stocks. A rahui was placed on Maunganui Bay from 21st March 2008 for two years. Both Ngati Kuta and Patukeha hapu as kaitiaki of Rakaumangamanga and under customary lore have an obligation to ensure abundance of the fishery. Maunganui Bay is void of a healthy fishery. It needs time to regenerate the resident fish populations and there-after a sustainable harvest approach. The rahui will remain in place for two years. During that time we will monitor the diversity and abundance. The Rahui area is approx 150 hectares. The boundary makers are an outside line between Motuwheteke and Putahataha islands and the whole of Maunganui Bay. This press release is to announce the rahui. We are seeking wider community support to honour our kaitiaki obligations to other hapu and support the rahui by telling this story to your networks. The rahui will be supported by a brochure and website information. email 21st March 2008) Robert Willoughby Kaimahi

Not "operational service"
The Canterbury served in various parts of the world. This was not however in combat, and thus cannot be called "operational service".Royalcourtier (talk) 05:39, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Falklands War
I can understand that British Leanders, "as the quietest antisubmarine frigates were maintained on North Atlantic patrols". This may have kept British Leanders out of the Falklands task force. However that cannot logically have been a reason for keeping the Canterbury away.Royalcourtier (talk) 05:43, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
