  • The Royal New Zealand Navy, 1910-2010 Michael Wynd
    Small Steps from Empire to Independence: The Royal New Zealand Navy, 1910-2010 Michael Wynd Cet article explique le lien intime entre la Marine royale britannique et la la Marine royale néozélandaise dans l’histoire nationale et militaire de la Nouvelle-Zélande, une relation qui a commencé tôt dans l’histoire de la colonie avec l’inclusion de la Nouvelle-Zélande dans le cadre de l’Empire britannique. Jusqu’à dans le courant du vingtième siècle, la Nouvelle-Zélande a maintenu des liens étroits avec la Marine britannique et a embrassé avec enthousiasme son rôle de soutien de l’empire, comme peuvent en témoigner les contributions nationales aux deux guerres mondiales. Pour commencer, l’auteur passera en revue les contributions et le développement d’une marine très distinctement néozélandaise. La dernière partie de l’article examine le développement d’après-guerre de la Marine néozélandaise et les principaux changements qu’elle a subis pour devenir la force qu’elle est en 2010. The history of the Royal New Zealand Navy is a progression of small steps from Empire to independence. The navy in New Zealand has followed a very different path when compared to the experience of Australia and Canada. This paper will explore the influence of such factors as the nation’s manpower and financial capacity to build a fleet, perception of New Zealand’s place within the Empire, a growing self-awareness post- 1945, domestic and party factional politics in the 1970s and 1980s, and finally a shift back to multilateralism and cooperation in the past two decades.

  • Jim Calder – Biography by Kim Newth 1
    Jim Calder – Biography by Kim Newth 1 RNVR TO RNZN – LEARNING HOW TO LEAD BIOGRAPHY BY KIM NEWTH In the early hours of a cold Christchurch winter morning – 16 July 1922 – James Roland Calder came kicking into the world, the third child born to his parents Cecelia and Leslie Calder.1 Their roots were north of the Waimakariri River, with Cecelia having grown up in Kaiapoi while Leslie, a builder and joiner2, had been born in Rangiora. James, however, was raised in Christchurch in the family’s Disraeli Street home, bordering Sydenham and Addington. ‘James’ is the name on his birth certificate but pretty soon his family switched to using the more informal ‘Jim’. He was very much ‘the baby’ in the family, his older sister Jean having been born during the First World War and his older brother, Percy, born after his father had left to serve as a private in that war. In his early years, Jim attended nearby Selwyn Street Kindergarten and was then enrolled at West Christchurch District High School3. “I was there from the time I started in Primer One through to Standard Two.”4 After finishing school at West Christchurch, he was enrolled in clerical training at Christchurch Technical College before starting work as an office boy at the New Zealand Farmers' Co-operative’s premises in Cashel Street where the hours were long and the work dispiriting. “I did not want to be a clerk. I worked on the mail table, sorting and distributing mail and being a general roustabout. I was the lowest of the low.” Eventually though he worked his way into the company’s banking department, tasked with managing budgets for indebted farmers.
