[1] 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.

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.
