About TE KUKUPA II

Te Kukupa II is a Guardian-class patrol boat built in Australia for the Cook Islands. It replaced the original Te Kukupa, supplied to the Cook Islands three decades earlier. Her crew is drawn from the Cook Islands Police Service. At the farewell of Te Kukupa I, Australian High Commissioner Christopher Watkins noted the original Te Kukupa had been a gift from Australia at a time when Australia and the Cook Islands "were united in our anger at French nuclear testing." Rather than Australia expanding its own Navy, the Hawke Government had decided to empower its Pacific partners.
