HMNZS Endeavour (A11)

HMNZS Endeavour (A11)

HMNZS "Endeavour" (A11) is the current fleet oiler for the Royal New Zealand Navy. She is named after Captain Cook's Bark "Endeavour" and is the third ship in the RNZN to carry that name, though if continuity with the Royal Navy ships of the name HMS "Endeavour" is considered, she is the twelfth. The previous two ships of the RNZN were Antarctic research support vessels. The current Commanding Officer is Commander David John Toms, MNZM, RNZN.

"Endeavour" was built in South Korea to a commercial design and commissioned on the 8 April 1988. The RNZN is currently searching for a replacement for Endeavour which is expected to be retired by 2013. [ [http://nz.news.yahoo.com/080425/3/53tq.html Search begun for Endeavour replacement] ]
