New Zealand is supposedly being condemned and has some trade sanctions against us for having a "no nuclear ships" policy and as the USA will neither "confirm nor deny" whether their ships are armed or powered by nuclear means, we don't have visits. From the above it seems we are very wise to stick to that policy. It would play havoc with some ports and water sports events if we let US ships visit us.
