Coastal Forces of the Royal New Zealand Navy

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of the Royal New Zealand Navy? They are a group of people who protect New Zealand's coast from bad guys who might want to do harm.

Now, the Coastal Forces are a special group within the Royal New Zealand Navy who are specifically trained to protect the coast. They have special boats called patrol boats that are really good for moving quickly and quietly through the water.

These boats are important because they can get to places that bigger boats can't. They can also get close to things without being seen, kind of like a ninja on water!

The Coastal Forces also have special weapons on their boats like guns and missiles to protect themselves and New Zealand from any bad guys who might try to do harm. They are like superheroes protecting the coast!

So, whenever there's a bad guy who wants to come to New Zealand, the Coastal Forces are there to stop them and keep New Zealand safe.
