Even our P-8’s are not for ASW. Better watch out – you might get a prize for the most ill informed comment of the year! |
Interesting Factoid: The first time that NZ fought a battle under their own flag was at the Battle of the River Plate, in 1939, when HMNZS Achilles helped two RN ships sink the Graf Spee. Source: Wikipedia.

The ship was on loan to New Zealand at the time of the battle and was known as HMS Achilles, it didn't receive the HMNZS designation until nearly two years later when the ship was transferred to the NZ Navy when the New Zealand Navy was formed. .At the time of the battle she served in the Royal Navy New Zealand Division, about 60% of the crew were New Zealanders.
