The September issue of Navy Today is out now, with our cover celebrating nearly 30 years in print.
This issue will be the last one to be printed as a hard copy, with all three service magazines published in a digital format online from October.
In this issue, we congratulate HMNZS Canterbury going all-hands full-on with a training push to get more sailors qualified. We introduce our new Chief of Navy, and catch up with HMNZS Aotearoa’s adventures in South East Asia. An engineer takes charge of HMNZS Te Mana and we meet our specialist Uncrewed Aerial Systems people, freshly returned from a mission with the Royal Navy. A Navy couple relate their experiences over a long-term deployment as a family where the temperatures can be minus 30 degrees.
Navy Today - Issue 292, October 2024
In this October edition, we timeline the events around the sinking of HMNZS Manawanui. We have big photo spreads showing the gunnery capabilities of HMNZS Te Kaha, and the hard work of HMNZS Aoteroa, on its way back from South East Asia. We profile the new Warrant Officer of the Navy, meet our first female mine clearance divers and showcase the Seasprite helicopters in the Marlborough mountains. Our Physical Training Instructors get creative for a staff photo, and we explore the benefits of hydrogen technology for the future fleet.
Navy Today - Issue 293, November/December 2024
In this combined November/December magazine, we cover the timetable of events so far for the HMNZS Manawanui sinking. HMNZS Aotearoa's successful Indo-Pacific deployment is captured in full with some amazing images. HMNZS Canterbury represents New Zealand at CHOGM, we meet our Sailor of the Year, celebrate HMNZS Ngapona's centenary and look forward to the creation of a Navy Reserve Force sub-unit in Whangārei.
This issue marks the end of an era as it is the final time our service magazine will be produced. We have loved creating Air Force News for our readers, but it is time to look towards a different way of delivering our stories and updates.
As we step into 2025, we will publish all our articles on NZDF.mil.nz, where we digitally showcase the latest Air Force news.
As we say haere rā to our service magazines, we look forward to looking to continuing to share stories of our military with you.
