Her Majesty's New Zealand Ship

Her Majesty's New Zealand Ship (HMNZS) is the ship prefix used to identify warships and shore facilities commissioned into the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN).

It derives from "Her Majesty's Ship" (HMS) used in the United Kingdom. The British monarch is also equally and separately the New Zealand head of state. Should the Queen be replaced by a King, the designation also changes to "His" rather than "Her" Majesty.

On 1 October 1941, King George VI fixed his signature to the approval for the Royal New Zealand Navy and from that date all ships officially received the designation.

Anyway

by: Manassas

A little bit of love affection,
The demonstration of all I've done for you is all I mean,
Representing what you've come to do
It's such a beautiful time; it's such a beautiful time...
Searching for suffer, you may find what you're looking for,
As it nothing is perfect, the door is released,
As you enter the room, the darkness you see...
But, anyway...
All night long just to figure what you're looking for
You would never tell me, your demons are scared from harm...
You'll never believe, don't matter what I do...
You'll never live, scared about me in you...
Don't let your feelings in time...
Don't let your feelings on time...
Don't let your feelings to time...
Don't let your feelings behind...
But, anyway, anyway, anyway...
