The Battle of Gibraltar 1607 by Cornelis Claesz van Wieringen
The Battle of Gibraltar in 1607 was part of the larger conflict between Spain and the United Provinces of the Netherlands, known as the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648). During this time, the Dutch Republic sought to challenge Spanish dominance and establish control over important trade routes.
In 1607, a Dutch fleet, commanded by Admiral Jacob van Heemskerk, launched an audacious attack on the Spanish fleet, which was anchored in the Bay of Gibraltar. The Spanish fleet, led by Admiral Juan Álvarez de Ávila, was significantly outnumbered.
During the battle, the Dutch fleet used fireships (ships deliberately set on fire and sent towards the enemy fleet) to disrupt the Spanish formation. This tactic proved to be very successful, causing panic among the Spanish sailors and leading to the destruction of several Spanish ships.
The battle marked a significant victory for the Dutch Republic and further solidified their naval power in the region. It also demonstrated the effectiveness of the fireship tactic in naval warfare.

Willem Schellinks' painting "Dutch Ships in the Medway, June 1667" captures a pivotal moment in naval history with remarkable skill and detail. Created in the Dutch Golden Age, this artwork depicts the daring Raid on the Medway, a significant event during the Second Anglo-Dutch War.
Schellinks' composition skillfully conveys the chaotic intensity of the naval engagement. The viewer is drawn into the scene as Dutch ships, powerful and triumphant, navigate the waters of the River Medway in England. The artist's meticulous attention to architectural accuracy and his ability to render the vessels' intricate details highlight his technical prowess.
The painting not only commemorates a victorious naval campaign but also speaks to the broader themes of national pride and maritime power during the 17th century. The Dutch Republic's naval prowess is showcased as they successfully penetrated English defenses, a feat that left an indelible mark on both nations' histories.
Schellinks' work exemplifies the Dutch tradition of marine painting, which often combined meticulous representation of ships and seascapes with a sense of nationalistic pride. "Dutch Ships in the Medway, June 1667" stands as a testament to the artist's ability to capture historical events with artistic finesse, making it an enduring piece of both maritime and art history.
Battle of Terheide, also known as the Battle of Scheveningen, holds historical significance as a pivotal naval engagement during the First Anglo-Dutch War. The painting by Jan Abrahamsz Beerstraaten vividly captures the intensity of the battle, with the Dutch flagship Brederode prominently positioned, engaged in fierce combat with an English ship.
This artwork serves as a visual record of the battle, highlighting the central role played by Admiral Maerten Harpertsz Tromp and his flagship. The action depicted in the painting underscores the determination and courage of both Dutch and English naval forces as they clashed in the North Sea. The outcome of the battle favored the Dutch Republic, but at the cost of losing Admiral Tromp, who sustained fatal wounds.
Jan Abrahamsz Beerstraaten, the artist behind this evocative painting, was known for his skillful portrayal of marine scenes and landscapes. His work not only captures the events of the First Anglo-Dutch War but also provides a glimpse into the maritime history and conflicts of the time.
Through this artwork, viewers can gain insights into the naval warfare of the 17th century, the strategic significance of the Battle of Terheide, and the sacrifices made by those who participated in this historic engagement. It stands as a testament to the enduring impact of significant events on the canvas of history.

Walking by Damen Shipyards in Den Helder, Netherlands where the maintenance of the Royal Netherlands Navy's (RNLN's) submarine support ship and torpedo tender HNLMS Mercuur (A900) is being done. The 1,400-tonne ship, commissioned in 1987 was temporarily withdrawn from service earlier in 2015.
The main Dutch Navy base is located in Den Helder, so I got used to seeing Dutch warships, but I still get the "wow felling" when I see those coming in or out of the base.
The Royal Netherlands Navy (Dutch: Koninklijke Marine, Royal Navy) is the navy of the Netherlands. Its origins date back to the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) the war of independence from the House of Habsburg who ruled over the Habsburg Netherlands.
The main naval base is located at Den Helder, North Holland. Secondary naval bases are located at Amsterdam, Vlissingen, Texel, and Willemstad (Curaçao). Netherlands Marine Corps barracks are found in Rotterdam, Doorn, Suffisant on Curaçao, and Savaneta on Aruba.

Save for their individual serial numbers, another view of the line of nine identically marked Kon Marine (Dutch Navy) Lockheed P-3C Orions along with a co-located Breguet Atlantic parked at Valkenburg Air Base on the 4th August 1984.
All of their P-3's were sold when the Netherlands ended their LRMPA and Anti-Submarine activities with the fleet going to both Germany and Portugal.
Just discernable to the left is the hulk of one of their P-2 Neptunes - their previous Long Range Maritime Patrol Aircraft that operated with the Kon Marine for some three decades.

The Dutch Navy submarine HNLMS Zeeleeuw and the Danish Navy remote controlled mine clearance vessel msf 4 met early this morning in Öresund. (Here the msf 4 was not operating in the remote control mode!)
"HNLMS Zeeleeuw (S803) is a Walrus-class submarine of the Royal Netherlands Navy. She entered service in 1990 as the first submarine of the walrus class, after the HNLMS Walrus was delayed for a long period following a serious fire during construction.[1] Zeeleeuw has been deployed both for naval exercises and in combat operations around the world. Furthermore, the submarine plays an important role by performing intelligence operations.[2] The submarine has undergone a mid-life maintenance and upgrade program between 2014–2016, and is currently in active service." (Wikipedia).
Powering up for departure.
The Dutch Naval Orions last flew in 2005 and were sold, eight to Germany and five to Portugal thus ending Dutch Naval fixed wing operations.
Katwijk, 1 August 1992
A Dutch P-3C is flying low over the beach of Katwijk during the annual search and rescue demonstration. Air station Valkenburg is close to the town of Katwijk.
The photo was taken from the old lighthouse.
The P-3 had special markings to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Marineluchtvaartdienst (MLD).
Dutch Navy NH.90 N-325 was a welcome sight at the RNAS Culdrose Air Day.
However the type has been beset with problems regarding range, spares availability, lack of capability and not least corrosion issues on these naval versions.
Operated by several Air Arms with the intent to replace their ageing Lynx helicopters, considering the issues NH Industries need to solve it will be interesting to see how they fare in 'active' service.

I captured this beauty berthed in dock at Aberdeen Harbour Scotland on Saturday 13th April 2019.
I also captured her leaving with three minesweepers on Sunday 14th April 2019, I posted those photos at the weekend here on Flickr.
Below is my description from Sundays post.
Today Sunday 14th April 2019 I decided Torry Docks overlooking Aberdeen Harbour Scotland was the place for me to be, various ships entering and leaving the harbour though I knew that four war frigates had arrived a day or so ago with whispers of today as their departure day, camera loaded, I decided to dedicate my afternoon down at Aberdeen Harbour Scotland, waiting on these beauty's to leave.
Tonight at 20pm I was rewarded , I post a few of the shots I captured of HDMS Thetis F357 leaving followed by the minesweepers behind her.
Meeting fellow photographers and enthusiasts who also arrived to see these beauty's head out to the North Sea made the evening a bit of an event, I had a great experience , loved it .
HDMS Thetis is a Thetis-class ocean patrol vessel belonging to the Royal Danish Navy.
In mid-1990s the ship served as a platform for seismic operations in the waters near Greenland. In 2002 she took over the role from her sister ship Hvidbjørnen as a platform for Commander Danish Task Group.
The role was handed over to Absalon in September 2007. From February - April 2008 Thetis served as a protection vessel for the World Food Programme chartered ships, carrying food aid, off the Horn of Africa. In 2009 the ship served as staff ship for the NATO Mine Countermeasure Group 1.

Four Thetis class frigates for the Royal Danish Navy have been built by the Svendborg Shipyard with headquarters on the island of Funen in Svendborg, Denmark. The Thetis (F357) and Triton (F358) were commissioned in 1991, and Vaedderen (F359) and Hvidbjornen (F360) in 1992.
The Thetis Class are multi-role frigates for fishery protection, surveillance, air-sea rescue, anti-pollution and ice reconnaissance.
THETIS DESIGN
The frigates have a double-skinned hull divided by ten bulkheads into watertight compartments. The basic hull shape corresponds to that of a high-speed trawler. There are no bilge keels, but stabilisation is achieved by a combination of fin stabilisers from Blohm and Voss and a controlled passive tank system supplied by Intering.
The frigates are ice-strengthened and are able to proceed through 80cm of solid ice. The hull has an icebreaking bow and stem lines suitable for operations in ice with only one propeller. To minimise ice formation on the superstructure, all winches, capstans, etc. are placed under deck. The allowed amount of icing is 375t.
Maximum continuous speed is 20kt in 4m seas. The ships can stand wind gusts of 150kt during light ice conditions and operate in all sea conditions at speeds of 4kt to 5kt. The ships have an endurance of 8,300nm at varying speeds with a 10% fuel reserve.
COMMAND AND CONTROL
Infocom Electronics, based in Sonderborg, Denmark produced the frigate’s integrated information system, which is based on a digital fibre-optic switch with digital multipurpose subscriber stations.
The system handles all internal and external communications, including data link and message handling for the ship’s Command, Control and Communications (C3) system, supplied by Terma Elektronik of Lystrup, Denmark.
WEAPONS
The armament consists of one Oto Melara 76mm Super Rapid main gun, one or two 20mm guns from Oerlikon and depth charge throwers. The Super Rapid gun has a rate of fire of 120 rounds a minute and range of 16km. The fire control system is the Saab Systems 9LV 200 mk3. A FLIR Systems Inc AN/AAQ-22 SAFIRE thermal imaging system is used for surveillance.
HELICOPTER
The frigate has a landing deck with a landing spot for a single helicopter. Helicopter support arrangements include a Glide Path Indicator (GPI) and a flight refuelling system. The hangar is equipped for helicopter maintenance and has capacity to hold a Lynx helicopter without having to fold the helicopter tail.
SENSORS
The frigates are fitted with a BAE Systems AWS-6 air and surface search radar operating at G band, a Terma Scanter Mil surface search radar operating at I band, a Furuno FR-1505 DA navigation radar operating at I band and a Saab Systems 9LV mk3 fire control radar operating at I and J bands.
Sonar equipment consists of a Saab Systems hull-mounted type CTS 36 RDN and a Thales Underwater Systems (formerly Thomson Marconi) TMS 2640 Salmon Variable Depth Sonar (VDS).
COUNTERMEASURES
“The Thetis Class frigates are ice-strengthened and are able to proceed through 80cm of solid ice.”
The countermeasures suite includes the Thales Defence Ltd Cutlass radar warning receiver, a Thales Defence Scorpion radar jammer and two Sea Gnat launchers for chaff and infrared flares.
PROPULSION
The propulsion machinery consists of three MAN B&W V28/32 diesel engines with combined power of 9,000kW. The fitted bow thruster is able to hold the bow against an athwartship wind of 28kt. A retractable azimuth thruster is capable of propelling the ship at 10kt.
The bow and azimuth thruster are produced by Brunvoll A/S. There is also a shaft generator of 1,500kW, supplied by Volund Motorteknik A/S, and three GM diesel motors with Volund Teknik generators, each with an output of 480kW.
The machinery is controlled by an integrated ship control and surveillance system (SCSS) designed by Soren T. Lyngso. The system allows the vessel to sail with unmanned engine rooms, the entire installation being controlled, and visually supervised from the bridge or from other locations in the ship.
Namesake: Thetis is encountered in Greek mythology mostly as a sea nymph or known as the goddess of water, one of the fifty Nereids, daughters of the ancient sea god Nereus..
Newspaper Article On 2019s War Exercise In Scotland.
E River Clyde is set to play host to the largest military exercise in Europe.
The Faslane Naval Base will be at the heart of the biggest 'tactically-focused' training operation - called Exercise Joint Warrior - from 16 to 26 April.
The multi-national event is conducted in the spring and autumn of each year, with the base hosting key Royal Navy and RAF personnel involved in it.
They will be joined by another 150 personnel, many of them reservists, with a joint warfare operations centre set up at the base to co-ordinate and manage the massive exercise.
A total of 32 separate naval units from eight different countries are taking part, as well as a considerable military air presence and multiple land forces.
Faslane will berth many of the vessels during the exercise, with the ships using the base for quick and easy access to some of the maritime training areas off the west coast.
The UK, USA, Germany, Netherlands, France, Norway, Denmark and Canada are all contributing and Royal Navy Flagship, HMS Bulwark, will be hosting the Commander United Kingdom Task Group and Commander Standing NATO Maritime Group 1.
Meanwhile the UK's joint force HQ will deploy to practice its command function both afloat on the high-readiness helicopter and commando carrier, HMS Illustrious, and ashore. The aim of the exercise is to provide the highest quality training for all three armed services and the numerous visiting forces from allied nations.
To achieve this, Joint Warrior features a wide-ranging exercise scenario which brings into play every possible situation experienced in complex, modern conflicts. It involves three sovereign nations, some disputed territory, drug smuggling, piracy, state-sponsored terrorism and counter insurgency. The scenario develops over the two-weeks of the exercise, beginning with a period of military and political tension and evolving into simulated war fighting and potential state-on-state hostilities.

The Koninklijke Marine (Royal Netherlands Navy) including HNLMS JAVA, HNLMS EVERSTEN and HNLMS DE RUYTER arrived in Sydney on 3 October 1930. The ships berthed at the Oceanic Steamship Company wharf and Burns Philp and Company Wharf in West Circular Quay. The Sydney Morning Herald reported on the 'unfamiliar spectacle' of the Dutch squadron arrival.
On 10 October, the squadron hosted a reception on board JAVA 'as a return for the hospitality they had received while in Sydney'. The SMH reported that distinguished guests were greeted by the Dutch Consul-General Petrus Ephrem Teppema, Madame Carmen Delprat Teppema and Rear-Admiral Kayser.
