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.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
The buzz from New Zealand’s Strategic Defence Policy Statement (DPS) released last Friday has focused on its uncommon candor about China. According to a statement at the end of the document, the DPS was heavily coordinated across the government, and reflects a commendable shift in public tone. It’s on-trend with how other liberal democracies see the world today, and avoids doublespeak about threats to New Zealand’s interests.
