August 2010 - TE MANA's propulsion upgrade underway

Over the past year the RNZN has been upgrading the propulsion systems and enhancing the stability of the ANZAC frigates TE KAHA and TE MANA.  Known as the Platform Systems Upgrade (PSU), phase One of the project is now well advanced with TE KAHA back at sea and work on TE MANA underway.

Right: TE KAHA's Auxiliary Generator is craned out of the ship.

The Platform Systems Upgrade (PSU) for both TE MANA and TE KAHA are complex engineering projects, arguably the most complex undertaken by the RNZN since the Anzac frigates were delivered.
