HMNZS Kahu (A 04) is a Moa-class inshore patrol vessel of the New Zealand Navy.
Kahu was initially named HMNZS Manawanui (A09) and was launched in 1978 as the lead boat of it's class. She was attached to the Royal New Zealand Naval College as the basic seamanship and navigation training vessel. She can be distinguished from other boats of the Moa-class by the gantry on her quarterdeck and lack of funnels.
Kahu is the second ship with this name to serve in the New Zealand Navy. Kāhu is the Māori name for a New Zealand native harrier hawk.
She remains in service for seamanship and Officer of the Watch training and as a backup diving tender.
