| HMNZS Tui-1944 |
Tui was the first of two ships with this name to serve in the Royal New Zealand Navy and was named after a native bird from New Zealand.
Her fate
Tui was finally decommissioned on 22 December 1967. She was stripped of her equipment and sold in December 1969 to Pacific Scrap Ltd who demolished her.
She was replaced in 1970 by a purpose built oceanographic ship with the same name.
