A group of Whanganui activists will travel to Auckland next month to protest a visit by a United States' warship.
The warship, along with those from 17 other countries, has been invited to come to New Zealand for the 75th anniversary of the New Zealand Navy.
Around 16 members of
Peace Action Whanganui (PAW) will travel to Auckland to take part in the protest on November 15, spokesperson Chris Cresswell said.
"In 1984, New Zealand proudly banned nuclear powered or armed warships from our waters. The United States has consistently refused to confirm or deny whether their ships are nuclear armed or powered and so its warships have been prohibited from our waters."
Mr Cresswell said the New Zealand government had said it was using a source other than the United States government to confirm that the visiting warship was not nuclear powered or armed.
