For other ships with the same name, see HMNZS Hawea.

HMNZS Hawea is a Lake-class inshore patrol vessel of the Royal New Zealand Navy. Hawea was constructed between 2004 and 2007, and commissioned on 1 May 2009.[1] She performs border and fisheries protection patrols.

Hawea is the third ship of this name to serve in the Royal New Zealand Navy and is named after Lake Hāwea. Both of the Lake-class were sold to the Irish Naval Service in 2023 being delivered in May 2023. They are due in service sometime in 2024 after commission works are completed. Both are planned to be based on the east coast of Ireland where sea conditions suit their capabilities.
