RNZN fleet renewal: uncrewed systems and 'Ship Zero' shore-based training concept

The Royal New Zealand Navy outlines a fleet renewal transformation that explicitly integrates uncrewed maritime systems alongside crewed ships and introduces a 'Ship Zero' simulation-based shore training model. It also proposes more flexible crewing via deployable specialist teams and increased platform commonality to reduce sustainment/training burden—an organizational/doctrinal shift that could change how the RNZN generates readiness and operates future fleets.
