In February 1985, the government of New Zealand refused the destroyer USS Buchanan (DDG-14) entry to the port of Auckland after the U.S. Navy refused to declare whether the Buchanan was carrying nuclear weapons, which ran afoul of New Zealand’s recently implemented “nuclear free zone” policy. This otherwise minor incident led the U.S. Navy to ban New Zealand port calls by any Navy or Coast Guard ship and to prohibit New Zealand Navy vessels from visiting U.S. Navy facilities.

Defence Minister Hon Ron Mark suggests that time taken scrutinising P3 replacement options was time well spent, and that we can expect similar rigour in relation to procurement proposals to Cabinet going forward.

The buzz from New Zealand’s Strategic Defence Policy Statement (DPS) released last Friday has focused on its uncommon candor about China.
