In our May issue we showcase HMNZS Aotearoa’s ceremonial homeport visit to New Plymouth, and welcome local war veteran Trevor Watson on board for a personal tour. The Navy marae celebrates 21 years, while HMNZS Te Mana’s team struggle with COVID-19 in Canada. Our musicians take part in a history-making concert alongside Kiwi band Six60 at Eden Park, and we learn that real sailors do real sailing in our fleet of yachts. Finally, we outline the history of the ‘working’ Navy uniform, from Action Work Dress to General Work Dress – including the infamous ‘kaydees’!
