Talk:HMNZS Taupo

First Taupo penannt number
I've removed from the index page commentary that an IP added regarding the pennant numbers assigned to the first HMNZS Taupo. The commentary is reproduced below in full. Could someone who knows RNZN ships investigate please? -- saberwyn 12:41, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

"The first HMNZS TAUPO was a WWII Loch-class frigate (the class were all named for Scottish lochs) built in 1944 as HMS LOCH SHIN. The British frigate escorted a number of Russian Convoys and was involved with sinking two U-boats. Of note she was assigned the pennant number K421. In 1947 ships' pennant numbers were revised under a common NATO system and LOCH SHIN became P3570.

In 1948 the frigate (along with 5 sister ships) was transferred to the RNZN and given a New Zealand lake name, TAUPO, while retaining her pennant number P3570.

Pennamt number F423 was allocated to HMS Largo Bay."
