新西兰惠灵顿——本月，新西兰皇家海军（RNZN）与澳大利亚皇家海军（RAN）在堪培拉签署了《塔斯曼海合作计划》（Plan Tasman），正式确立了这两支邻近海军之间的合作框架。
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — The Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) signed “Plan Tasman” in Canberra this month, formalizing a blueprint for integrating the two neighboring sea services.
据新西兰国防军发言人介绍，这项新协议是2024年11月签署的《塔斯曼海海军合作框架》（Tasman Navy Framework, TNF）的后续举措，旨在为两国海军之间的关系提供战略指导。
A follow-on agreement to the November 2024 Tasman Navy Framework (TNF), the new pact is meant to be a strategic guidance document governing the relationship between the two navies, a NZDF spokesperson said.
“该协议明确了双方的战略对话机制，确立了加强组织与作战整合的总体目标，并详细规定了合作的具体领域，”发言人向《国防新闻》（Defense News）表示。
“It established the strategic dialogue architecture, defines the overarching goal of strengthening organizational and operational integration, and outlines the functional areas of cooperation,” the spokesperson told Defense News.
新的合作内容包括：每年由两国海军副司令共同主持的战略对话会议，以及专门负责各项合作任务的工作组。
One new element includes an annual navy-to-navy strategic dialogue, led by the two deputy service chiefs, complete with working group devoted to various cooperation tasks, according to the spokesperson.
这一协议进一步体现了两国加强国防合作的决心，共同致力于推动海军力量的整合，以维护印度-太平洋地区的安全。
The new pact supports both nations’ commitment to closer defense relations and a shared vision of increasingly integrated naval cooperation aimed at securing the Indo-Pacific region.
澳大利亚皇家海军成立于1901年，拥有16,000名海军官兵（是新西兰皇家海军官兵数量的约8倍），并设有8个基地；新西兰皇家海军仅设有一个基地（位于奥克兰的德文波特基地）。在两国海军中，女性官兵的比例均约为25%。
Established in 1901, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) has 16,000 sailors — about eight times more than the RNZN — and eight bases. The RNZN has one base, Devonport, in Auckland.
目前，澳大利亚皇家海军装备有7艘“安扎克级”（Anzac-class）护卫舰（每艘长度为387英尺），新西兰皇家海军也有2艘同型护卫舰。与新西兰皇家海军的大部分舰艇一样，这些护卫舰的服役寿命将在2030年代中期结束。
Women provide about 25% of the personnel in both navies. Seven Anzac-class 387-foot frigates serve with Australia and two with New Zealand. The frigates, like most of the RNZN fleet, will reach their end of life in the mid-2030s.
2026年4月，澳大利亚皇家海军签订了采购11艘“莫加米级”（Mogami-class）护卫舰的合同；新西兰方面尚未决定是选择日本的舰艇设计，还是选择印度尼西亚和波兰订购的英国“31型”（Type 31）护卫舰。
In April 2026 the RAN signed a contract for 11 Mogami-class frigates. New Zealand has yet to decide between the Japanese design or Britain’s Type 31 frigate, ordered by Indonesia and Poland.
2025年8月，新西兰皇家海军订购了5架MH-60R“海鹰”（MH-60R Seahawks）直升机，以替换自2001年以来一直在服役的Kaman Seasprite直升机。此外，新西兰还在不断加强与其他国家的区域防御合作。
In August 2025, the RNZN ordered five MH-60R Seahawks to replace its existing Kaman Seasprites, which have been in service since 2001. New Zealand is also strengthening its regional defense links.
2025年12月，新西兰与日本签署了国防合作协议。去年有两艘日本军舰访问了新西兰；今年5月，一艘属于“摩甘米”级（Mogami-class）的护卫舰也曾停靠在惠灵顿。
In December 2025 New Zealand signed defense agreements with Japan. Two Japanese warships visited New Zealand last year and a Mogami-class frigate was in Wellington in May this year.
两个月后，印度和新西兰又签署了国防合作协议，双方在提升外交关系后承诺加强海上安全领域的合作。
Two months later, India and New Zealand signed a defense cooperation agreement and pledged to strengthen maritime security cooperation after upgrading their diplomatic relations.
