Devonport, New Zealand –<\/strong> The New Zealand Navy apologised today after realising that it’s offensive weapons capability was, well, offensive. Rear Admiral of the Navy, Harry Bottom, released a statement apologising for the Navy’s past offences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In light of my desire to ensure renewal as head of the Navy by the minister of defence, the Honourable Warren Peace, I have accepted that there is no place in the New Zealand armed forces for causing offence. To this end, I have committed to removing all offensive capabilities of the New Zealand Navy.<\/em> Fortunately this disarmament won’t be difficult, as under my stewardship the Royal New Zealand Navy’s fleet is already almost entirely comprised of unarmed support ships.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I sincerely apologise on behalf of the Royal New Zealand Navy for any offence we’ve caused as a result of any armaments our ships have carried and offensive actions we’ve taken. From now on I will personally ensure that the Navy’s ability to project aggression is permanently neutered.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
