HNLMS Holland is the first ship of the Шаблон:Sclasss of the Royal Netherlands Navy. The ship was originally designed to fulfill patrol and intervention tasks against lightly armed opponents, such as pirates and smugglers. However, it also has very advanced electronic and radar surveillance capabilities which are used for military stabilization and security roles, short of outright war. Without sonar or long range weapons, it utilizes the surveillance capabilities of the Thales integrated mast, which integrates communication systems and two 4-faced phased arrays for air and surface search.[1][2]

Service history

Holland was the first ship of the Holland-class offshore patrol vessels to enter service. The ship fulfilled its first task before it had actually entered service when on 15 March 2012 it returned a mirror that had been taken from Шаблон:HMS after the Raid on the Medway.[3]

In 2013 Holland successfully intercepted two illegal drug transports in the Dutch Caribbean. One of the cargoholds contained more than Шаблон:Convert of cocaine.[4]

During the Nuclear Security Summit in 2014, Holland and Шаблон:HNLMS secured the coastal areas between IJmuiden and Hook of Holland.[5]

On 10 October 2016, Holland was deployed around Haiti, to help after the impact of Hurricane Mathew.[1]

In July 2018, the crew of HNLMS Holland ended a three-month drug patrol in the Dutch Caribbean with a visit to New York. While in the Caribbean Sea, Holland also performed coast guard duties. HollandШаблон:'s sister ship Friesland replaced the vessel in the Caribbean.[6]

In August 2021, Holland was deployed to Haiti once more to support an EU Civil Protection Mechanism mission in response to the 2021 Haiti earthquake and subsequent Tropical depression, providing intelligence-gathering, safety, helicopter, and security support including an armed team.[7]
