The Tromp class guided missile frigates were two frigates built for the Royal Netherlands Navy during the 1970s to replace the De Zeven Provincien-class cruisers as squadron flagships.
The ships served as fleet flagships and area air defence vessels and were replaced by the De Zeven Provincien class LCF frigates.
