Just to take a foreign policy point of view, so taking the Type 31 means that New Zealand has ruled itself out of having a navy that can participate in anything close to a high intensity warfare environment against a first-rate navy, so in the foreseeable future, the only roles that the navy will seen adequately equipped to be sent to are peacekeeping roles in the South Pacific, or something like anti-piracy patrols? The problem with the Type 31, is that unlike a Hunter Class or a fully upgraded ANZAC class, it is not really a ship that is adequate to be sent to the SCS in a military action against the PLAN, as least in its Royal Navy configuration.
