These small patrol craft were ordered by the Labour government, and in service by 1975. I think it is improbable that the National Party then in opposition would call them "ridiculously expensive and militaristic for fisheries protection". They have the usual armament for a fisheries vessel - being almost unarmed - so could only be called militaristic by a pacifist. Is there a source for actual criticism - if there was any.Royalcourtier (talk) 09:56, 20 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
