A SH-2G(I) naval helicopter on board Royal New Zealand Navy frigate Te Kaha will have a chance to fire its Penguin Mk 2 Mod 7 anti-ship missile at this year’s Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise scheduled Jun. 30 to Aug. 4.
“This will be a first for the RNZN and will demonstrate that we are a capable military partner,” Te Kaha commanding officer Commander Steve Lenik says.
