New Dutch Combat Support Ship (CSS) HNLMS Den Helder

[@huiarama]

Great interview Xavier and crew is there any chance of getting an update on the Netherlands Navy future Amphibious replacement ships?? - I believe they are looking for 6 ships......

[@Ezekiel903]

European are on track, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Italy, Sweden, Spain and others, great to see!! Like Japanese

[@abraham2172]

Nice ship. It reminds me of the German Einsatzgruppenversorger ("taskforce-supplier").

Naming the ship ZrMs Zeekat (Cuttlefish) was a missed opportunity.

[@kimkristensen2816]

A beautiful ship like all Dutch navy vessels. Denmark could use one of these

Philippines coast guard need this kind of Ship atleast 1 or 2

[@GlenCychosz]

Does it do at least 20 knots?

[@Chiggi0815]

23.000 tons and no VLS cells? Calm down. I am just making fun of people who think that displacement and armament need to be in some kind of relationship.

You had me going there for a second...Nice one..😊

Het is te hopen dat Damen zorgvuldiger omgaat met defensiegeheimen dan met reserveonderdelen, anders weten de Russen al meer dan wij.

[@mikechaud1300]

Where are the guns?

[@gnansink]

Sensors and weapons will be installed once the ship arrives in the Netherlands in a few days.

[@feddek9325]

It gets a Leonardo 76mm autocannon and 2 12.7mm heavy machineguns plus a RIM116 launcher for AA threat

[@TheMrOfdeath]

die werden in den helder basis zu gemacht

[@clrogier]

The ram and sovraponte will be installed in a few years. The ram system prow and gun above the Helicopter deck.

[@Roomer645]

In the year 2024 they name a ship after the Dutch Navy's hometown for the very first time. How weird is that. That name should have been at least a class for decades by now. Meanwhile we have seen ship names for decades of cities that hardly have ANY relationship with the Dutch navy. Sad.

[@thomasromanelli2561]

Why does the rep being interviewed sound like he only saw the ship's spec sheet the morning of the exposition? I don't doubt that he's knowledge about the vessel, but his speaking style and cadence suggests otherwise... 🤷🏻‍♀

[@barendgarvelink]

One option is that he knows more than he’s allowed to disclose to a general audience and has to carefully consider his words.

[@thomasromanelli2561]

@@barendgarvelink Of course, and no one expects him to share secrets related to the design or outfitting. But Xavier asked basic questions, and the rep fumbled through his response- hence my earlier comment.

beetje jammer wel de nederlandse belasting betaler mag betalen maar krijg een hoop gebrabbel in het Engels te horen schaam je.
