Book excerpt: The formation of the Royal New Zealand Navy was long in coming. Both Canada and Australia had their own independent navies by the end of World War One, while the New Zealand Navy would not come into being until 1941 during World War Two. That is not to say that New Zealand was completely devoid of a naval presence. Just prior to World War One, the New Zealand Naval Force was established, and after the war, the naval force became the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy. HMS Philomel and HMS New Zealand were the two warships associated with New Zealand during these formative years. The aim of this thesis is to explore the histories of HMS Philomel and HMS New Zealand and to determine which of these two vessels was more impactful to the formation of the New Zealand Navy. To accomplish this, I will examine the careers of each vessel, exploring their wartime and peacetime careers as well of the origin of each vessel. I will then analyse Philomel and New Zealand comparing how each ship interacted with the New Zealand Naval Forces to determine which one had the greater impact. The results of my research shows that HMS Philomel, despite being the lesser known of the pair, had a far greater impact on the New Zealand Navy’s formation than HMS New Zealand. Philomel was the first New Zealand controlled warship, and during her long career, she not only protected New Zealand and its troops during World War One, she went on to train most of the sailors that made up the New Zealand Navy at its formation.

Book excerpt: For twenty years the strategic basis of New Zealand's defence policy was "the main fleet to Singaport" strategy -- the theory of a properly defended Singapore Naval Base to which adequate British naval forces would be despatched to defend the Empire east of Suez. In the event a fleet, far smaller than originally planned, arrived at Singapore in December 1941, only to suffer immediate annihilation; the Base held out, not the months predicted by British experts but rather just seven days before falling to attacking Japanese forces on 15 February 1942. This book, then, is essentially a study of why New Zealand placed reliance on an unsatisfactory strategy, which was always admitted to be second best to that in which a battlefleet was permanently based in the Pacific. The evolution of post-war arrangements for the protection of the British Empire in the Far East and Pacific Ocean is traced, with emphasis upon the procrastination which marked the provision of the necessary facilities. There is a description of the dilemmas confronting British strategists in the lte 1930s ... they were obliged to plan for war with three powerful enemies, knowing that to fight even two would be to court disaster. New Zealand's approach to the problem of security is discussed in detail. It is shown that far from being complacent behind the shield of a supposedly all powerful Royal Navy, New Zealand leaders were consistently worried by their country's vulnerable position ... And yet the only possible alternative ally, the United States of America, could not be counted upon to deal with an aggressive Japan. This book is a study of Anglo-New Zealand relations in the broad field of naval defence ... Although primarily dealing with New Zealand's defence policy, the book is a necessary introduction to any study of New Zealand's developing role in the world and of the evolution of its foreign policy."--Inside front cover.
