Taken out of service
On 9 January 1974 HNLMS Noord-Brabant was on the Westerschelde when a British bulk carrier was on course to ram the Dutch ship, the helmsman of Noord-Brabant tried his best to avoid the ramming. However, it was to no avail since the bulk carrier rammed the ship in the middle section which resulted in a Шаблон:Convert gap.[3] In the collision two crew members of Noord-Brabant were killed and there were numerous wounded. The destroyer was towed to the ship repair yard Scheldepoort were the damage was deemed to be expensive and the Royal Netherlands Navy deemed it better to decommission the ship early than pay for the repairs. As a result, Noord Brabant was taken out of service early on 8 March 1974.[4]
