Tromp class frigate

Tromp class frigate

The Tromp Class were two frigates built for the Royal Netherlands Navy during the 1970s to replace the De Ruyter class cruisers as squadron flagships. The Tromp class frigates entered service in 1975 and 1976 and served until 1999 and 2001. Both ships were built by Royal Schelde Shipyard in Flushing (Vlissingen). The ships served as fleet flagships and area air defence vessels. Their 3-D radar under a large polyester radome, gave the ships the nickname "Kojak" in the Netherlands navy. Originally the ships were to have the Uk Sea Dart Missile system but this was changed to the more compact American standard SAM.
