The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is set to initiate a project next year to identify options for the replacement of its ANZAC frigates HMNZS Te Kaha and HMNZS Te Mana. The frigates are planned to be replaced after 2030 and a number of preliminary workstreams are already underway to inform government understanding on options for naval combat capability.
