		To fill this new role the Royal New Zealand Navy must have two functions: it must be sufficiently operational to have ships, which can be dispatched at short notice should the need arise, and it must have a sufficiently large training framework to enable it to expand in the event of war.
		The reporting organisation in the New Zealand area was activated and reserve officers were appointed to the main ports in New Zealand to carry out naval control of shipping duties during the period of the exercise.
		The Royal New Zealand Navy benefits considerably from the close liaison it maintains with the Royal Navy, and unity of thought and method is a major contribution to Commonwealth defence.

		New Zealand is a Pacific nation, an island nation, heavily dependent on maritime trade for its prosperity.
		To date, we have committed to the purchase of two new and purpose-built Anzac frigates - the Te Kaha which was launched two years ago and will be commissioned into active service later this year, and the Te Mana which was launched in May last year and will join the RNZN next year.
		It's the one which asks whether New Zealand is prepared to pull its weight in the security of the Asia-Pacific region - and it's one to which our friends and allies have given some pretty blunt views.

		H.M.N.Z.S. PEGASUS, the new headquarters of the Canterbury Division of the Royal New Zealand Naval Volunteer Reserve in Christchurch, was commissioned in July 1953.

		It is true that the pay conditions attaching to service in the Royal New Zealand Navy now compare favourably with those offering in civilian life, but the shortage of labour in civilian life provides an abnormal attraction to young men reaching the end of their first engagements.

		The Navy Band was formed in 1960 from a nucleus of former Royal Marines musicians who remained in New Zealand after the Royal Marines Band was recalled to Britain.
