Friesland-class destroyer
Ship class for the Royal Netherlands Navy / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Friesland-class destroyers[lower-alpha 1] were built for the Royal Netherlands Navy in the 1950s. They were a larger modified version of the Holland class with more powerful machinery. Eight ships were built.[1] 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.[2]
