Pictured above:
The RNZN HMS Helen Elisabeth Clark (CVS 1) set sail today for its home port of Auckland , NZ.
The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to Prime Minister Helen Clark "for her foresight in military budget cuts" and her conduct while Prime Minister.
The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminium and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which, although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very menacing presence.
As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person crew is completely diversified, including members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation. This crew, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of New Zealand at all costs!
An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find New Zealand offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may sound hollow and disingenuous , the Navy advises that all apologies will sound very sincere.
The ship's purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defence, but instead in times of conflict the RNZN Helen Clark has orders to seek refuge in Australia, or any other country which will admit it. The ship may be positioned near the Labour Party Headquarters for photo-ops and can be used extensively for social experimentation and whatever other worthless jobs, the commander-in-chief and her ideologue aides can think of.
It is largely rumoured that the ship will also be the set for the upcoming season of MTV's "The Real World."
The ship was renamed and commissioned RNZN "Helen Clark" when someone realized the RNZN actually still existed, unlike the RNZAF.
