A United States Navy ship will visit New Zealand in the next fortnight, it’s been announced, providing an opportunity for our Defence Force (NZDF) to receive more training.

The vessel – an Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer – will berth in Wellington at some point this month, the NZDF announced on Wednesday. While on our shores, the ship’s crew will train and interact with NZDF personnel, as well as take part in interoperability exercises and official engagements. 

The vessel’s name and when it is scheduled to arrive and depart are not yet able to be released for operational reasons.
