SeapixOnline- Warships - 1 of 1 HMNZS TE KAHA (F77) sails from Auckland's Devonport Naval Base for a four month goodwill tour to Asia, Canada and civilian ports of Seattle, San Francisco and San Diego along the West Coast USA.
This will be the first NZ naval ship to call at ports on the US mainland since the introduction of the famous NZ nuclear ships ban of 1985 introduced by the David Lange-led Labour government.
The ban and the declaration that NZ was to be nuclear-free led to the US administration cutting many defence ties with the country and NZ no longer being a member of the ANZUS alliance.
