Devonport Naval Base

The Navy's munitions are stored and maintained at Kauri Point Armament Depot in Auckland.

Within the Royal New Zealand Navy many land-based facilities and services ensure support for ships and personnel when deployed.

The Navy’s fleet of ships are maintained by the Maritime Engineering Support Team (MEST).

The base also has a modern converter system to supply the substantial power even a berthed navy ship requires.

The new converters were installed in the late 2000s for $10 million, and will offer significant savings over using diesel generators, or having the vessels use their own power systems while in port.
