Further information: Project ProtectorAs early as 1988 the Royal New Zealand Navy had identified the need for some form of sealift in the South Pacific. In 1995 this led to the commissioning of HMNZS Charles Upham. The subsequent failure of successive governments to fund the required refits resulted in Charles Upham being sold in 2001.
At the same time the newly elected Labour Government directed the navy to exclude the option of a third frigate from the Maritime Forces Review, while the sea lift requirement was also part of a wider capability mix desired.

—Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959)

A design for living
Deeper into matter—
Not without due patter
Of a great misgiving.”
