Dutch service history

HNLMS Utrecht was one of eight Friesland-class destroyers and was built at the KM de Schelde in Vlissingen. The keel laying took place on 15 February 1954 and the launching on 2 June 1956. The ship was put into service on 1 October 1957.[2]

In 1959 the ship received eight torpedo tubes so it could use the British MK 20E torpedo. After a few years these were removed however, because the Dutch navy favored American torpedoes.[3]

In 1962 during the West New Guinea dispute Utrecht and the frigate Evertsen engaged Proa’s and fast attack craft in the Battle of Arafura Sea.[3]

On 1 August 1980 the vessel was decommissioned and sold to the Peruvian Navy.[4]

gollark: Wow, I really love having to use `grep` to find an option in `--help`!
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Anyway², I'll switch over my backup stuff and use the existing incremental tar thing for smallish compressible directories and rsync for large-scale apiary data.
