Our largest Navy ship hmnzs Canterbury is ~130m long and goes to Melbourne or Brissy for maintenance as it is too big for the largest dry dock in NZ. ANZAC class frigates at ~115m are about as big as it can take as you can see from the pics below. I snapped these a few years ago when I was in the navy. This container ship is about twice as long as our ANZACs, for now. Hopefully when she breaks its in daylight so they get it on camera.
