My man, hate to call you out but Maersk is Danish. Netherlands do operate the biggest port in Europe, being the busiest in the world until 2004 and being 11th largest in the world. At the same time its the largest container port in the world covering 41 sq mi.

In the royal dutch navy we dont have any nuclear submarines as we are a small country with a small navy. I am my self not in the navy but i as far as I know from people I know who are in the military the marines get all the training like arctic and jungle warfare but hey wil later specialise. And we do have a coastguard (very small 2 real ships or so) but they mostly are for customs. and in the beginning of the video you saw them clear a mine those are still from WW2 and that is an cooporation between our 'coastguard' and the navy.

I get the mistake tho. In old Dutch, we used to spel Maarsk as Maersk as well. If you aren't from the Nordic, Germanic area, these language look very similar. The Dutch also provided military support for Maersk to make the mistake even easier to make.

some more fun stuff, the goalkeeper (machine gun on the ship seen in the vid) is a dutch invention bought by america it is one of the most advanced anti missle guns on earth and calibrates every shot to the previous shot fired.

Fun fact is that the US Navy didnt want to go closer to Iraq in the first gulf war than their dutch frigate escorts were allowed to by the dutch government. As they were protecting the aircraft carriers with the goalkeeper.

@@feralgrandad4429 The golden era, when the Netherlands was still the dominant superpower on this planet. That is untill we got into a war with Napoleonic France, with the French eventually being victorious over the Dutch. During that war the Dutch were pre-occupied with more pressing matters and hence were unable to simultaneously defend their colonies as well, which the British cleverly took advantage of and seized upon. And from then on the British were the dominant superpower which lasted for at least a century or more, with the biggest empire in history and where the sun never set. Fortunately these days we're indeed at good standing with each other, and a very close ally which we much appreciate!

[@AudieHolland]

Anglo-Dutch cooperation, in my opinion, started with the "Glorious Revolution (1688)." Ever since, both countries have been supporting each other and cooperated overseas. Thanks to the British Empire, the Dutch were allowed to build their colonial empire in the Dutch East Indies. The British' thinking was: we know these chaps and better that they are in control of the Indonesia Archipelago than the Spanish or Portugese. The British having their hands full with India of course. After the French Occupation (or French Time because half of the country was pro-Napoleon, the other half were Orangists), the British were such good sports for returning all of the Dutch East Indies, which they had occupied after The Netherlands 'went French,' back to the Dutch government. Not many people know this but Napoleon sent his younger brother, Louis, to be his puppet for the 'Kingdom of Holland,' first time The Netherlands became a kingdom. With a Frenchman as our first king! However, as the Dutch had 'gone French,' so King Lodewijk (Louis) 'went Dutch' and became less and less cooperative with his big French brother Napoleon. He refused to root out illegal seatrade (smuggling) with the English and he would not send the required number of troops recruited from The Netherlands, to fight in Napoleon's wars. Furthermore, he gave help and money out of his own pocket for survivors of two national disasters that happened during his reign, one of them being a munitions ship that exploded in Leiden (151 killed, 2,000 injured). After Louis outright refused to receive French troops with an official celebratory ceremony, he was recalled but instead of returning to France, he went into exile in Austria. *Oops* went a bit off topic there but it just shows that the English were rather forgiving, even after the Dutch flirt with their arch enemy France.

In 1989, naval analyst Norman Polmar wrote in Naval Forces that during NATO s exercise Northern Star, the Dutch submarine Zwaardvis was the only orange (enemy) submarine to successfully stalk and sink a blue (allied) aircraft carrier Ten years later there were reports that the Dutch submarine Walrus had been even more successful in the exercise JTFEX/TMDI99. During this exercise the Walrus penetrates the U.S. screen and sinks many ships, including the U.S. aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71. The submarine launches two attacks and manages to sneak away. To celebrate the sinking the crew designed a special T- shirt. Fittingly, the T-shirt depicted the USS Theodore Roosevelt impaled on the tusks of a walrus. It was also reported that the Walrus also sank many of the Roosevelt's escorts, including the nuclear submarine USS Boise, a cruiser, several destroyers and frigates, plus the command ship USS Mount Whitney. The Walrus herself survived the exercise with no damage.

Hi ! Daughter of a dutch naval officer here. About your coastguard remark. Like the US, the Netherlands used to have a Naval Aviation Service (1914) who were indeed responsible for search and rescue operations. Unfortunately, due to ministry of Defense budget cuts this part of the Dutch naval tradition was disbanded in 2008. The Lockheed Orion planes were sold and the navy helicopters (Westland Lynx) were later transferred to the Dutch Air Force helicopter squad.

Nowadays our marines are highly trained, and special operations capable. We don’t really have specialized units for certain enviroments, but once in a while we are being trained in country’s like: norway, which is a cold weather and wardare training. Scotland, which is a mountain/wet weather training. Belize, which is a jungle warfate training. We also go to the US once in a while to have desert warfare/desert training. Our motto is qua patet orbis: as wide as the world goes, so basicly every marine is capable to be deployed around the world within 48 hours.

Our submarines are diesel electric. Funny story, during a large training exercise a dutch submarine "sank" an american carrier group, all while remaining undetected. Another one is during the height of the cold war a Dutch submarine took photographs of one of the main russian naval bases. The Russians had no idea we had been there and freaked them out so much they upgraded the defence of said naval base by 250% with hourly patrols, mines and nets

[@paulheineman]

The soundproofing room was showing a radar system testing room as was mentioned in other comments. This Smart-L radar system is developed in the Netherlands and used by the British, Danish, German, French, Italian, Dutch and South Korean Navies. It is regarded to be (one of) the best available in western countries. Its main specialty is tracking ICBM's, which was demonstrated last december, when a dutch frigate tracked a ICBM its entire journey and calculated its path, allowing US forces to intercept it.

[@MaartenOosterbaan]

Plus its able see basically any stealth airplane as well and the APAR has such enormous range (less resolution of course) that it is able to see past the horizon.

[@pieterveenders9793]

@@MaartenOosterbaan I think you have them both mixed up. SMART-L has an incredible range (by far the largest of any search radar, the new MkII version which the Dutch Royal Navy has can detect targets up to 2.000 km away, which is 4-5x further than any of any other country) but a lower resolution, as it's meant for detection. The APAR has incredibly high resolution but less range (around 400 km), and is used for among others fire control and guidance.

[@MaartenOosterbaan]

@@pieterveenders9793 owh yeah could have mixed them up, was reciting the story I heard at the factory ~20 years ago....so could indeed have switched them around...they work as sort of one big whole....think they were saying that in Den Helder they could see Charles de Galle Landing and Take-offs... it is impressive kit and one of if not the best in the world.

Unfortunately, the marines, and the Dutch army in general, is in a dire need of funding and personnel. Our army counts 40.000 men personnel give or take, which is 1 soldier for each 424 Dutch civilians. So we cherish the men and women we have serving, and I hope this video will be as encouraging and inspiring to our people as it was to you. Thank you for sharing another Dutch army video, I definitely enjoyed it! Looking forward for your next uploads!

[@guywilloughby3383]

When it comes to population size I would say that the United Kingdom's army is even smaller. The problem isn't just funding it is also recruitment, young kids today whether they are British or Dutch just do not want a job in the military.

@@guywilloughby3383 Yeah indeed, either because after the fall of the Soviet Union, there is no need for a large army anymore, or the army is less tempting for young people. But if you ask me, I think the younger generation is way too spoiled, and isn't used to rough jobs anymore.

Very sad and unfortunate, but a risk that comes with the Caribbean of course.

At 4:15 you're probably seeing a radar system being tested in a "silent room". The Dutch make radars that can spot vessels 4000km away. Someone already mentioned Thales.

[@shibainuholderwoof7899]

Er zijn twee typen voortstuwing mogelijk voor onderzeeboten: diesel-electrisch en kernenergie. De Nederlandse onderzeeboten hebben een diesel-electrische voortstuwing, net zoals veel andere landen. De VS, Groot-Brittannië, Frankrijk, China en India hebben onderzeeboten die op kernenergie varen (nucleaire onderzeeboten dus). In Nederland is ongeveer in de periode 1958-1960 ook een discussie gevoerd over het eventueel laten bouwen van nucleaire onderzeeboten. Omdat deze boten ontzettend duur zijn, is hiervan afgezien. Dat is niet onverstandig gebleken, omdat diesel-electrische onderzeeboten veel voordelen bieden. Alvorens in te gaan op een vergelijking tussen nucleaire en diesel-electrische onderzeeboten (ook wel conventionele onderzeeboten genoemd)

Hey, the "Sound isolation room" is actually a RF-free room to test and develop radar equipment. We also develop our own radars since the second world war which are exported all around the world. Currently the company making them is called "Thales Hengelo" but it was first named "Holland Signaal"

[@yannickbroos5283]

the dutch still run the good old diesel subs. Only thing we are missing are some aircraft carriers really

[@juliusfucik4011]

The Dutch actually had one. Kind of surprising.

[@BluesAlmighty]

At 4:16 is the big SMART-L based on active electronically scanned array radar (AESA). It picks up stealth aircraft, so the US wasn't so thrilled as Hollandse Signaalapparaten (now Thales) developed it right along while the US was developing F117 and F22, hahaha. I was doing an internship at Hollandse Signaalapparaten back then and was in that radar test room. Those spikes are made of foam by the way and in that room is where they calibrate each and every AESA radar tube (that AESA radar concept is widely used in many land based, airborne, and Naval radar systems by the way) of a particular AESA based system. Fun fact: the SMART-L is so powerful, it disturbs seagulls in flight when too close. Where conventional radar can already give you a warm feeling in your head, you really cannot be out on the deck when the SMART-L is active. Mind you, it is basically a giant open microwave. While testing the APAR on the roof of the Signaal premises it disturbed electronic devices, like supermarket's cash registers in the town of Hengelo.

Interesting how the auto-translate sometimes translates the music into [music], [applause], and even some words xD Also some poor choice translations that don't really make sense in context (to be expected) but even a word-for-word translation shouldn't have produced that result :o As for the submarines, the Dutch navy has 4 Walrusklasse (II) submarines build in 1990, 1992, 1993, and 1994. They're conventional diesel-electric subs allowing for smaller size and silent operation when using the batteries. The plan, at least for now, is to use air independent propulsion systems when the 4 subs are replaced (so closed cycle diesel, fuel cells, or other). They have 4 21" torpedo tubes and are outfitted with 20 Mk-48 or NT-37 torpedoes, or 40 Mk-46 torpedoes, or 40 naval mines. Originally they were expected to operate for 25 years with a special upkeep program needed halfway through, but since they've operated so much in coastal and shallow waters the wear on everything was much less than expected and their operational time was extended to 35 years. Since the Netherlands no longer makes subs the replacement starting in 2025 will be the first time since 1953 that a non-Dutch sub will be used by the Dutch navy (the USS Icefish and USS Hawkbill were bought and re-christened as Hr.Ms. Walrus and Hr.Ms. Zeeleeuw respectively). Fun fact, the 2 US subs we bought in 1953 were the first Walrusklasse subs. Since then we've had the Dolfijnklasse, Potvisklasse and Zwaardvisklasse (II). Before that the British navy build the subs we had, chronologically; 1 U-klasse, 1 S-klasse, and 4 Zwaardvisklasse. And as probably a whole lot of people have already commented, there's the famous joint exercise in 1999 where the Zr.Ms. Walrus tagged the USS Theodore Roosevelt twice and 8 escort ships before slipping away unnoticed. I even found the T-shirt the crew is said to have designed to celebrate a successful operation: www.dutchsubmarines.com/boats/images/submarines/boat_walrus2_tshirt.jpg Also I'm pretty sure that 'sound proof' scene is a radar test or maintenance location since radar behaves very similar to sound.

[@LiveEnjoyment]

4:09 is an EMC test chamber for testing electromagnetic radiation. As all electrical equipment must follow certain (electromagnetic) emissions regulation. Looks like they are testing a radar here for its emissions. If the radar emits to much it can interfere with other systems on a ship.

@@CombatArmsChannel We do have Rotterdam which was the largest port in the world for a long time and is still up there.

[@BrutusMaximusAurelius]

At 5:04 there are still thousands of old WWII mines in the North Sea and beyond. So there are minesweepers at sea everyday to clean them up. The subs are the diesel powered Walrus class. Smaller than most but therefor able to get at places where bigger subs can’t. The drug trafficking is mostly in the Caribbean where we have Aruba and Curaçao for example who are part of the kingdom of the Netherlands and there’s always one ship in “the West” to help and protect them.

The Dutch, under nominal command of Willem Joseph van Ghent and Lieutenant-Admiral Michiel de Ruyter, over several days bombarded and captured the town of Sheerness, sailed up the Thames estuary to Gravesend, then sailed into the River Medway to Chatham and Gillingham, where they engaged fortifications with cannon fire, burned or captured three capital ships and ten more ships of the line, and captured and towed away the flagship of the English fleet, HMS Royal Charles. Politically, the raid was disastrous for King Charles' war plans and led to a quick end to the war and a favourable peace for the Dutch. It was one of the worst defeats in the Royal Navy's history, and one of the worst suffered by the British military.[1] Horace George Franks called it the "most serious defeat it has ever had in its home waters."[2]

For example, Mountain leaders. From what I've heard, these guys go through the toughest training (together with MARSOC). But that's just 1 unit. I personally can't tell you about the other groups.
