Between 1962 and 1964,Lead Ship,Light Cruiser HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën underwent a refit by RDM Shipyards at Rotterdam which included the removal of the two aft turrets and the installation of a RIM-2 Terrier SAM system. Lack of funds precluded the same modifications from being carried out on HNLMS De Ruyter, which was decommissioned in 1972. Her sister ship followed suit in 1975; the Cruisers were replaced in Dutch service by the two Tromp-Class Frigates.
