LEONARDS, N.S.W.Phone 439-1522lockyards, some of the ships weretcquired from the United* Statesinder the Mutual Aid Programme,nd a few were bought fromibroad.This fleet is at present as folows(July 1st, 1967).Urcraft Carriers (1).H.N 1.M.S. "Karel Doorman" (RSI).Displacement: 15,892 tons standard;Engine power 40.000 s.h.p. —25 knots.Complement: 1.509.Armament: 10 — 40 mm A.A.Guns; 35 aircraft (S-2A GrummanTracker and SH-34 J Sikorskyhelicopters).This aircraft carrier is the nucleusof the modern Netherlands fleet andwith its aircraft and helicopters itcan take part in ensuring the safearrival of goods and raw materialto the Netherlands in time of war.Because of its mobility this aircraftcarrier can launch A.S.W. aircraftanywhere in the world. It isof great importance to the Natoalliance to have this carrier at itsdisposal.H.N 1.M.S. "Karel Doorman" waspurchased from Great Britain in1948 and commissioned in theNetherlands on May 28th. of thesame year. The ship underwent aradical alteration (modernisation) in1956-58).CruisersH.N1.M.S. "De Ruyter" (C 801).Displacement: 9,529 tons standard;Engine power 85.000 s.h.p. —32 knots.Complement: 943.Armament: 8 — 6 inch twin turrents;8 — 57 mm A.A. (in pairs);8 — 40 mm A.A.; 1 flare rocketlauncher 10.3 cm; 2 depthchargerails.H.N 1.M.S. "De Zeven Provincien"(C 802).Displacement: 12,160 tons standard;Engine power 85,000 s.h.p. —— 32 knots.Complement: 850.Armament: A twin "Terrier"guided missle launcher; 4 — 6 inchtwin turrets; 6 — 57 mm A.A. (inpairs); 8 — 40 mm A.A.The cruisers form the artillerystriking force of the NetherlandsNaval Forces. Tlie principal dutiesassigned to these ships are: Protectionown naval units from sea,air and possible land attacks; Protectionof merchant shipping, inconvoy or otherwise, from enemynaval and air attack; Display ofpower in peace time}—with orwithout real action — in order toprotect Netherlands interests whereever required.As well as these rather defensiveduties the armed cruisers are capableof more offensive action suchas tracking and destroying enemysurface ships; excuting coastalbombardments, attacking enemyconvoys etc.The cruisers are equipped with themost modern electronic apparatusfor fire-control, target tracking andnavigation. Special attention hasbeen paid to the ships own protection;the various quarters havebeen distributed over the entireship so that a single hit cannot putthe majority of officers, non-commissionedofficers and men out ofaction at the same time. For thesame reason enginerooms and boilerroomshave been formed intoso called "Units". Both cruiserswere built in Netherlands dockyardsat our own expense; theywere commissioned at the end of1953.In the years 1962-64 H.N1.M.S."De Zeven Provinden" was rearmed;that is to say since thecruiser was then equipped with aTerrier installation.The Terrier is an anti-aircraftweapon — a so-called "sea airguided missile." The height anddistance range, as well as theaccuracy of this weapon makes itcapable of destroying modernenemy jet bombers before they canbegin an effective attack on ourships.The addition to the fleet of aship armed with guided missiles willgive the Royal Netherlands Navythe opportunity of familiarizing itselfwith the operational technicaland personal problems of thisweapon system.Destroyers 'Holland-class' (4).H.N 1.M.S.
