De Naval Memorial Chapel of Saint Christopher is een kapel op het terrein van de Naval Base in Auckland-Devonport. In 1931 bouwde de firma Lawton & Osborne een orgel voor de familie Nash in Lower Hutt, een plaats in de buurt van Wellington. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd het orgel gekocht door de Ex Naval Mens Association, die het lieten plaatsen in de Memorial Chapel. Het orgel had pneumatische tractuur, maar is in de jaren zestig door de firma Croft & Son omgebouwd naar electrische tracturen.
