HMNZS Manawanui was the first ship New Zealand had lost since World War II .

Dozens of sailors were rescued from the vessel in October after it struck a reef, burst into flames and sank.

A military court of inquiry finds the survey vessel had been scuttled because its "autopilot was not disengaged when it should have been".
