I served on Waikato for 6 years and have many fond memories of her, was sad to see her sunk but after seeing this am glad that life still goes on onboard the Mighty Y and glad that she wasnt cut up for scrap like her predessesors (Southland, Otago, Taranaki etc), Amazing to see all the life that is going on around her, hope to get up to Tutukaka one day and visit my Home away from Home sitting on the sea floor, Thanks, Glenn, HMNZS Waikato association website webmaster
