    A Royal NZ Navy ship which ran aground and caught fire has since capsized off the coast of the Samoan island of Upolu, authorities have confirmed.
    The HMNZS Manawanui "was known to have capsized and was below the surface" by 9am, the NZ Defence Force confirmed this afternoon.
    The $100m vessel was on fire and listing heavily, after running aground before 7pm last night. Photos from the scene showed smoke billowing from the stranded ship.

    That's a fairly significant "oops"...
