Watch: Navy sailor proposes during emotional reunion following Canada deployment
Kia ora neighbours. A navy sailor has proposed to his girlfriend – who said yes – in an emotional reunion in Auckland following a lengthy overseas deployment.
HMNZS Te Mana and her crew of 170 docked at the Devonport Naval Base on Friday morning.
The frigate left New Zealand for Canada more than three years ago to receive an extensive systems upgrade.
The first thing petty officer Jacob Biddle (Tūhoe) did when he disembarked Te Mana after a year on board was drop down onto one knee to ask his partner of three years, Takimoana Hawea, to marry him.
The pair kissed and Hawea nodded “yes”, before jumping into Biddle’s arms as his comrades cheered and whistled from the ship.
