Sir Humphrey
Significant news for one of the most capable navy's in NATO and a close UK ally.
The Netherlands are a fantastic ally, professional, lethal and their people always bring the morale too - definitely good news!
New Amphibious Transport Ships better suited for war conditions
Defense is replacing the 2 large landing ships (LPDs) and 4 Oceangoing Patrol Vessels (OPVs) with 6 ships of the same new class. These Amphibious Transport Ships are suitable for use in war conditions as well as for modern amphibious operations. The vessels can also function as station ships, for example. The first new Amphibious Transport Ship should arrive in 2032. State Secretary Christophe van der Maat reported this to the House of Representatives today.
