      We’ve had enemy vessels in our waters in the past, the Germans sunk multiple vessels in our waters during the war, and the way things are going, I can see similar shenanigans happening again.

        But if that is the case, a couple of new helicopters isn’t going to help. Any potential invader that wants to take NZ is likely going to have a much stronger force than we can muster. That’s why we traditionally have relied on our allies for military strength.

          It’s not likely we will face a full scale invasion, but commerce raiding like we saw during ww2, or illegal fishing in our waters is quite possible.
