A military court stated that the New Zealand Navy ship HMNZS Manawanui sank due to a series of human errors, particularly the failure to disengage autopilot.
Admiral Garin Golding emphasized crew's misidentification of the issue as a thruster control failure, contributing to the ship's tragic course towards the reef.
Golding noted that crucial checks to confirm manual control were neglected, allowing the ship to accelerate towards danger without proper oversight.
