  • Timing Is Everything
    Chapter 2 The ANZACS, Part 1—The Frigate that wasn’t a Frigate As long ago as 1954 the cost of replacement frigates had been an issue. Almost a quarter of a century later, the 1978 Defence Review made the observation that `the high costs of acquiring and maintaining modern naval ships and systems compounds the difficulty of reaching decisions which will adequately provide for New Zealand's future needs at sea'.1 Indeed `extensive enquiries to find a replacement for HMNZS Otago made it clear that the cost of a new frigate had gone beyond what New Zealand could afford'.2 This observation led to the serious consideration of converting the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) to a coast guard service, but the Government rejected the notion on the basis that, although a coast guard could carry out resource protection tasks, it would mean the end of any strategic relationship with our ANZUS Treaty partners, and the RNZN would no longer be able to operate as a military force. The Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Neil D. Anderson, said that the New Zealand Government's commitment to maintaining a professional fighting navy was `a magnificent shot in the arm for everyone in the Navy'.3 The Government remained committed to a compact multi-purpose navy, and calculated that a core operational force of three ships would be the minimum necessary force. These ships were to be the Leander-class frigates HMNZS Waikato and HMNZS Canterbury (commissioned in 1966 and 1971 respectively), and the older Type 12 frigate HMNZS Otago.

  • The 'Best Small Nation Navy in the World'? the 21St Century Royal
    Steven Paget Published in Australian Journal of Maritime & Ocean Affairs, 8:3, 2016, pp.230-256. This is the post- print version and must not be copied or cited without permission. The ‘Best Small Nation Navy in the World’? The 21st Century Royal New Zealand Navy Whether it’s disaster relief, peace support operations, ensuring that the sea trade on which we depend for our survival can get through, or protecting New Zealand’s Exclusive Economic Zone and marine resources, the Royal New Zealand Navy as part of the New Zealand Defence Force protects and serves the causes important to us and our way of life (New Zealand Defence Force 2016a). Rear Admiral John Martin, Chief of Navy, 2016 As the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) conducts Operation NEPTUNE throughout 2016 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the service, significant time will be devoted to reflecting on past successes.1 While the RNZN has much to be proud of throughout its history, it is also prudent that the current and future roles of the service be assessed. Fittingly, the release of New Zealand’s 2016 Defence White Paper coincided with NEPTUNE, which has provided an opportunity to consider both past experiences and future capabilities and tasks. Within the recognised constraints of size and budget, the goal of the RNZN is lofty. The RNZN has explicitly stated its aim to be the ‘best small nation navy in the world’ (Royal New Zealand Navy 2015, 2). Although New Zealand may be described as a small nation, its maritime domain is vast. The 2010 Defence White Paper outlined: ‘Ninety-six percent of New Zealand lies underwater, if our extended continental shelf is included’ (Ministry of Defence 2010, 17).

  • New Zealand's Defence Diplomacy in Asia
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington “NEITHER STAUNCH FRIENDS NOR CONFIRMED FOES” NEW ZEALAND’S DEFENCE DIPLOMACY IN ASIA BY JUSTIN FRIS A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Relations Victoria University of Wellington 2013 ii iii Abstract Read a recent Defence White Paper of any number of countries or look at the range of foreign relations one country has with others in the contemporary age, and one is likely to come across the term ‘defence diplomacy.’ The traditional function of armed forces has been to prepare for and undertake the use of force. As part of this role, armed forces have cooperated with those of other nations to enhance security by countering or deterring potential enemies. In the post-Cold War era however, a new form of defence relations has emerged; in contrast to, yet supplementing their traditional role, armed forces have been employed in building cooperative relationships between former and potential future foes. This shift is explained by the concept of defence diplomacy; the concept identified by Andrew Cottey and Anthony Forster that armed forces have a peacetime role in pursuit of broader foreign and security policy goals. Recognising that defence cooperation activities have a long history, Cottey and Forster differentiated defence diplomacy between ‘old,’ meaning those traditional defence cooperation activities aimed at allies and friendly states, and ‘new,’ meaning defence cooperation aimed at potential or former enemies.
