HNLMS Walrus

HNLMS Walrus

Two submarines of the Royal Netherlands Navy have borne the name HNLMS "Walrus" (S802), in honor of the Walrus.

* HNLMS "Walrus" (1) was originally USS "Icefish" (SS-367), a U.S. Navy "Balao"-class submarine, launched in 1944 and decommissioned in 1946. The ship was loaned to the Netherlands in 1953; she was commissioned in the Royal Netherlands Navy as HNLMS "Walrus" (S802). In 1971, "Walrus" was sold for scrap.

* HNLMS "Walrus" (S802) is a "Walrus"-class submarine, launched in 1985 and still in service as of 2008.
