Friesland class destroyer
- Friesland class destroyer
The Friesland Class destroyers were built for the Royal Netherlands Navy in the 1950s. They were a larger modified version of the Holland class destroyer with more powerful machinery. Eight ships were built. They were replaced by the Kortenaer class frigates in the early 1980s and seven ships were sold to the Peruvian Navy where they served until 1991. The main armament was supplied by Bofors.
