About HMNZS Waikato (F55)
HMNZS Waikato (F55) was a Leander Batch 2TA frigate of the Royal New Zealand Navy. She was one of two Leanders built for the RNZN, the other being the Batch 3 HMNZS Canterbury. These two New Zealand ships relieved British ships of the Armilla patrol during the Falklands conflict, freeing British ships for deployment.
