Netherlands

Good lookin' Royal Netherlands Navy 'Van Speijk Klasse' (Class) Frigate Zr. Ms. Van Speijk F802, she was 1 of a total of 6 which served from 1967 till 1990. She and 2 others were build by the Nederlandse Dok- & Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) (Dutch Dock- & Shipyard Company) in Amsterdam and the other 3 by the Royal Netherlands Shipyard 'De Schelde' in Vlissingen.. the design was for a large part taken from the Royal British Navy Leanderclass Type 12... the Dutch sisterships were slightly smaller, bud had a wider navigation brigde what gave a better view to the vessels' front and back. The Dutch variants were easily recognizable because of the Dutch Radar Systems and had different Weapon Systems. This vessel was sold in 1986 to the Indonesian Navy from then on they renamed her KRI Slamet Riyadi 352. She was in active duty until 2019. Last year July 31 2023 she was sunk by the Indonesian Navy during the Indonesian National Armed Forces's Joint Exercise 2023 after being decommissioned in 2019. The Indonesian Navy commissioned the vessel in 1986 after buying it from the Dutch Government.
