The Australian Defence Force (ADF) admitted to disrupting wireless internet and radio services in New Zealand due to interference from HMAS Canberra's radar. The incident occurred as the ship approached Wellington, necessitating local tech operators to cease using affected frequencies. Following complaints, HMAS Canberra adjusted its radar frequency to resolve the issue. The New Zealand Defence Force deemed the incident resolved, while local radio and internet companies expressed frustration over the substantial disruption caused by a military vessel's operations.
