History

The TDS was founded on 10 March 1973 by King Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV, who also commissioned the first craft on that date.[1] The first craft was VOEA Ngahau Koula (P101), followed by VOEA <i>Ngahau Siliva</i> (P102) - the names mean Golden Arrow and Silver Arrow respectively.[1] They were crewed by volunteers, but are no longer in service.[1]
