One of the funny things about it is that each day, when I walk along Wellington's harbour, I see a different ship at a different mooring. So on one particular day, I saw one of the large ships by Te Papa museum, and some of the other ships scattered at other points along the harbour. But on other days, it is replaced by a couple of the small boats, or another day it is replaced by the troop carrier.
I think what is happening, is that like so many other places in Wellington, you can only park for free for two hours. As such, the navy probably hires some guy to shift the boats every hour or so. I mean, no captain wants to see a $40.00 fine under his wind shield wiper. Worse yet, getting your war ship out of an impound lot can be a bitch.
