I have thought about this over and over and have changed my mind many times at what I think the future Royal New Zealand Navy should consist of. I have seen other articles that consist of submarines and various other equipment that while New Zealand can technically afford them, there is more to it that just saying we need to have submarines.
One of the issues we have is that the various New Zealand Governments have not had a clear focus on what they want the entire defence force to do... Yes defend the country and our interests. But what does that actually entail. And until we know that you can not design a defence force to defend it.

Aotearoa has been exercising off the east coast of Australia to test her capabilities in international waters. This has included Replenishment at Sea (RAS) exercises with Royal Australian Navy guided missile destroyer HMAS Hobart and frigate HMAS Stuart. The RAS training was a chance to strengthen relationships between the two neighbouring countries and has showcased Navy's interoperability at sea with its counterparts.
