Two navy ships return to the Devonport Naval base in Auckland this morning after four months' overseas deployment.

Warship Te Mana and replenishment tanker Endeavour, with 231 naval personnel on board, have been working in China, South East Asia and Australia.

Commander Blair Gerristen says the ships have taken part in a defence expo and three international military exercises at sea.
