HNLMS Friesland (P 842): In November 2015 Friesland, and elements of the United States Coast Guard, cooperated in the seizure of $17 million of cocaine. The operation was part of Operation Caribbean Venture, under the overall command of the Royal Netherlands Navy. In March 2016, the ship shadowed the Russian destroyer Vice-Admiral Kulakov as the destroyer neared Dutch waters. On 20 September 2018 Friesland intercepted a go-fast with its NH-90. The cargohold of the go-fast contained 900kg of cocaine. The passengers of the boat were delivered to the United States Coast Guard source: wikipedia - - - - - NOTE: Royal Netherlands Navy vessels are given the international prefix "HNLMS", short for His/Her Netherlands Majesty's Ship) In Dutch Zr.Ms. for Zijner Majesteits (His Majesty's) or Hr.Ms. for Harer Majesteits (Her Majesty's) and then the ship's name without using the word ship. e.g. Zr.Ms. Evertsen means 'His Majesty's Evertsen' and not 'His Majesty's ship Evertsen'. |
