The Kortenaer/Standard class (Standaardfregat / S-Fregat) was a
class of frigates of the Royal Netherlands Navy. They were built to
be a general purpose frigate, able to combat all surface, submarine
and aircraft targets. 10 were built by de Schelde in Vlissingen and
2 by Wilton Fijenoord in Rotterdam between 1978 and 1982. Only 10 served with the Royal Netherlands Navy: 2 were sold to Greece while still under construction The 'Elli-class' Frigates of the Greek Navy have different equipment and weapons from the Dutch Navy ships. F 450 HS Elli - planned as HNLMS Pieter Florisz / F 812 F 451 HS Limnos - planned as HNLMS Witte de With / F 813 These two ships were replaced by 2 Jacob van Heemskerck class frigates which are basically an AAW variant of the Kortenaer class. The frigates were designed to operate smoothly in seaways with reduced length-to-beam ratio than usual for ships of their size. Furthermore, the ships would have a higher degree of automation to reduce the engine room complement requirement and overall crew size, with the frigates being able to be operated and fought from the operations room. With varying gun and radar compositions of the ships over their careers, the displacement would later differ among the class. Due to the high amount of automation within the ship, the complement was reduced from 196 to 176 officers and sailors. The design originally called for the installation of two OTO Melara 76/62 Compact guns (3 inches/62 caliber) in single mounts, with one placed forward and one mounted atop the hangar aft. However, after the first four ships, the aft 76 mm gun was swapped out for a Bofors 40/L70 anti-aircraft (AA) gun. The 76 mm guns could fire a 6 kg (13 lb) shell to a range of 8.6 nmi (15.9 km; 9.9 mi) at 85 degrees elevation. The aft guns were later replaced in all ships with a single-mounted, seven-barreled SGE-30 Goalkeeper 30 mm close-in weapons system (CIWS) that had a range of 2 km (1.2 mi). |
