In 1941 the shore establishment HMS Tamaki (a stone ship or frigate) was commissioned for training of the men for service with the RNZN. Tamaki’s motto was ‘Ake Ake Kia Kaha’ – For ever be strong.

Tamaki (Motuihe isl. a former Quarantine Station in the Hauraki Gulf) would train men who had enlisted for service with the Royal New Zealand Navy. It was planned that 900 trained personnel would pass through Tamaki for service. By 1945 over 6,000 men and women had been trained at Tamaki representing over 60% of the personnel to have served with the RNZN during the Second World War.
