HMAS Lachlan
She was transferred to the Royal New Zealand Navy, renamed HMNZS Lachlan, and was a survey and Antarctic supply ship until February 1975.[citation needed] In 1948, the New Zealand government sought a survey ship to use temporarily until a new one could be built in Britain.After negotiations, Lachlan was offered on loan for an initial time of three years and on 31 May 1949 was paid off from RAN service and was immediately given to the Royal New Zealand Navy the next day.HMNZS Lachlan surveyed over fifty percent of New Zealand's coastline over her twenty years in commission.Some of her service included surveys in Australia and the rest of the Pacific, and she helped clear mines around the Gilbert & Ellice Islands from World War II.
