Engineering:Ouvéa (ship)
From HandWiki
Short description: Ship
Ouvéa, named after Ouvéa Island, was the name of a yacht used by three DGSE agents to import the naval mines used to sink the Greenpeace protest yacht Rainbow Warrior in 1985, killing photographer Fernando Pereira.[1][2] The Ouvéa was sailed to Norfolk Island after the bombing.[3] After New Zealand Police arrested two other agents still in New Zealand, the Ouvéa set to sea and was scuttled, while the crew transferred to the French submarine Rubis, to make their escape.[3]
