Royal Netherlands Navy Launches Harpoons from New Frigate


(Source: Boeing Co.; issued November 25, 2008)



ST. LOUIS --- Boeing today announced that the Royal Netherlands Navy has successfully test-launched two Boeing Harpoon missiles from air defense and command frigate (LCF) HMS De Zeven Provinciën. The exercise, which was the first LCF launch of a Harpoon, was held off the coast of Virginia on Nov. 8.

In the exercise scenario, a hostile ship attacked the Dutch frigate, which responded with a salvo of two Harpoon Block IC missiles, marking the first time the Dutch Navy has launched multiple Harpoons on a single target. Both Harpoons hit and destroyed the target. The Netherlands has been a Harpoon customer since 1975.

"We are extremely pleased with the performance of the Harpoon Weapon System during this test, and we congratulate the Royal Netherlands Navy on achieving this new milestone," said Jan Browne, Boeing director of Stand-Off Strike Weapons. "Harpoon is an extremely reliable weapon system in use by the United States and 27 allied countries. We are proud of Boeing Weapons Programs' 33-year relationship with the Netherlands."

Boeing has delivered more than 7,000 missiles to U.S. and allied navies. The Harpoon Block I missile is capable of flying in excess of 67 nautical miles and carries a 500-pound warhead. In 2001, Boeing delivered the first Harpoon Block II missile, which incorporates a Global Positioning System navigation system to provide autonomous, over-the-horizon capabilities, even in adverse weather. The Harpoon Block III missile, which includes a data link system for in-flight target updates, is currently in development.


A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is one of the world's largest space and defense businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world's largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is a $32.1 billion business with 71,000 employees worldwide.

Keel for First Patrol Ship Laid Down

(Issued in Dutch only; unofficial translation by defense-aerospace.com)

The Royal Netherlands Navy is to receive four brand new patrol ships which, among other missions, can be used to combat rising piracy at sea.

The keel of the first unit, Holland, was laid down today at Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding at Ritthem, near Vlissingen.

In the presence of representatives of the Ministry of Defence and of the shipyard, State Secretary Jack de Vries welded an old coin to the keel section, in a tradition dating back to the eighteenth century. This centuries-old ritual is intended to bring good luck to the shiop and its crew.

The Holland is due to be christened in January 2010, and will be commissioned into the navy in May 2011.

The following three patrol ships will also be named for Dutch coastal provinces, namely Zeeland, Friesland and Groningen. Their keels will be laid in September 2009, October 2009 and April 2010, respectively.

The purchase of the vessels is related to the Navy blueprint of 2005. According to this document, the emphasis of naval operations has been moved to coastal waters, a consequence of the changing global security situation and of new threats such as terrorism and piracy.

These reasons convinced the Ministry of Defence to procure four new patrol ships for tasks lower in the threat spectrum, such as anti-piracy, naval surveillance and inspections, and anti-narcotics operations.

The Holland-class ships are 108 meters long, will be manned by a 50-man crew and will be able to reach a top speed of twenty knots. (ends)



Construction of First Patrol Vessel Begins


(Source: Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding; issued Dec. 9, 2008)



State Secretary for Defence Jack de Vries laid down the keel of the first patrol vessel for the Royal Netherlands Navy in the dock of Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding on Monday, 8th December.

During the official act, the State Secretary welded an old Dutch duit (traditional Dutch coin) to the very first part of the vessel. At the keel-laying of this first of class, the names of the four patrol vessels were also announced: Holland, Zeeland, Friesland and Groningen.

In the “Navy Study 2005”, the foundation was laid for the new fleet of the Royal Netherlands Navy. On account of a new world view and new threats such as terrorism and an increase in piracy, the emphasis was placed on operations in littoral waters.

A decision was taken to purchase four patrol vessels specifically for tasks in conflicts of lower intensity, such as monitoring shipping (including boarding operations) and carrying out patrol duties.

The Royal Netherlands Navy previously sold six relatively heavily armed multipurpose frigates.

The new vessels will measure 108 metres in length and will displace approximately 3750 tons. They offer hangar space and landing facilities for one NH-90 helicopter or equivalent types. Their armament will consist of one 76 mm Oto-Melara gun, one rapid-fire gun and two Hitrole machine guns. The weapons will all have full remote control. Thanks to the state-of-the-art integrated sensor and communication technology in the mast, detection and tracking of high- and low-altitude air targets, fast boats, periscopes, mines and even swimmers will be possible.

The first two patrol vessels are to be built at the shipyard of Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding in Vlissingen, with a number of sections being supplied by the Damen shipyard in Galati.

Major parts of the third and fourth vessels are to be built at the Damen shipyard in Galati under the supervision of Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding.

Thales to modernize Netherlands' M-Frigates radar suite



14:07 GMT, February 6, 2009 The Netherlands' Defence Materiel Organization and Thales Nederland signed a contract for the delivery of SEASTAR and GATEKEEPER sensors that are to be installed on the two multi-purpose M-class frigates of the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN).

The modernization will take place in 2011 and 2012 in the scope of the M-frigates' upkeep program. Simultaneously, a contract was signed for the delivery of a GATEKEEPER system that will be installed on the LPD Johan de Witt.

The M-Class frigates were introduced in the nineties and were intended for air defence and submarine warfare in the Atlantic. However, these ships are deployed mainly in littoral waters to counter frontier-running, pollution, drugs trafficking and piracy. The SEASTAR and GATEKEEPER sensors provide the vessels with the capability to detect the small targets encountered in such situations. The two new sensors will be matched with the tried-and-true SMART-S surveillance radar and the STIR weapon control radar that are on board of the M-frigates.

This contract includes an option for the same modernization of the two M-Frigates that have been purchased by the Belgian Navy in 2005. The Joint Support Ship that will be built for the RNLN is expected to be equipped with an Integrated Mast, similar to the Mast on the OPVs that also includes SEASTAR and GATEKEEPER.

This contract marks another step in the long-standing and very successful cooperation between the Royal Netherlands Navy and Thales Nederland and proves that Thales’s systems can be integrated in existing platform configurations.


Additional information:

SEASTAR is a non-rotating active phased array radar for naval surface surveillance. The system automatically detects and tracks asymmetric threats and very small objects such as swimmers, periscopes in all weather conditions. SEASTAR can also be used for helicopter guidance. SEASTAR has been contracted for two ship classes at present.

GATEKEEPER is a 360° panoramic electro-optical surveillance and alerter system based on IR/TV technology. Designed to counter emerging asymmetric threats down to small boats and swimmers, GATEKEEPER increases short-range situational awareness in littoral environments. GATEKEEPER has been contracted for two ship classes at present.

Construction of New Support Vessel to Proceed


(Source: Netherlands Ministry of Defence; issued Dec. 8, 2009)


(Issued in Dutch only; unofficial translation by defense-aerospace.com)



The Lower House of Parliament today approved the construction of a new support vessel for the Royal Netherlands Navy. A majority of MPs gave approval to the project, after earlier resistance due to a budget overrun was overcome.
The tasks of the so-called Joint Logistics Support Ship (JSS) are to carry supplies at sea, sea basing and strategic sea lift. The former task is to base a ship at sea for conducting and supporting operations on land.

The ship, with a length of 190 meter and a width of approximately 30 meters, will be equipped with a crane and an elevator capable of lifting heavy equipment.

The ship is big enough to transport Leopard 2 battle tanks, self-propelled guns and Chinook helicopters. It will also have a rear landing deck for helicopters, and a hospital with two operating rooms.

In a few years, the JSS will replace the supply ship HMLS Zuiderkruis.

Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding to Build Joint Logistic Support Ship (JSS) for Royal Netherlands Navy



13:06 GMT, December 21, 2009 On 18 December 2009, the Netherlands' Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) and Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) signed a contract for the supply of a Joint Logistic Support Ship (JSS).

The Joint Logistic Support Ship will be built for the Royal Netherlands Navy, and will be delivered in July 2014.

The Joint Logistic Support Ship (JSS) replaces HNLMS "Zuiderkruis", a vessel which is already for 34 years in service in the Royal Netherlands Navy.

The JSS fulfils the operational requirements of the Royal Netherlands Navy for a robust multi-functional platform specifically designed for maritime support, strategic sea lift and sea basing missions in open ocean as well as in littoral waters.

To that end, the JSS has the disposal of capacities for replenishment at sea, for storing supplies, for loading and unloading of supplies, for transport of materiel and personnel, and for extensive medical, technical and logistic support.

The construction of the vessel will largely take place at Damen Shipyard Galati under supervision of DSNS, whereas the complete engineering, purchasing of material packages, final systems outfitting, commissioning and testing of the vessel and all of her systems will take place at DSNS's premises in Vlissingen.

The contract marks the ongoing, intensive relation between the Royal Netherlands Navy and DSNS over many decades. It also highlights the outstanding reputation of DSNS as a major naval shipbuilder of amphibious support and naval auxiliary vessels.


About the Joint Logistic Support Ship

The JSS has been designed to operate both in the lower and higher levels of the force spectrum, and measures 205 meter in length and 30 meter in breadth. Total displacement is 28.000 tonnes.

The vessel accommodates 150 crew and up to 150 non-listed persons, such as helicopter crew and medical teams. Further large areas for evacuees can be arranged.

The ship's speed is approx. 18 knots. The diesel-electric propulsion plant consists of 2 main electric motors of approx 9000 kW each, two shaftlines with Fixed Pitch Propeller, and two bow and one stern thruster. Electric generation by means of 5 diesel generator sets of approx. 25 MW in total.

The JSS has 2000 lanemeters for transport of materiel, a helicopter deck with landing spots for operating two Chinooks, and a hangar with a storage capacity of upto 6 helicopters.
