@@marijnnn4992 Regardless of who they're made for it's important to retain those skills in your shipbuilding industry, which is what some NATO members have failed to do.
I agree with what you say to some extent but the U.K. has not completely destroyed its naval shipbuilding capability but has significantly reduced its capability due to lack of investment and making skilled shipbuilders in the past redundant because its cheaper to build elsewhere. BAE Systems and Babcock still build great naval ships in the U.K. like, the type 26/31 and don’t forget the two large aircraft carriers and Britains nuclear submarines. Including the new Dreadnought class. More ships are in the pipeline as well, including the type 83 which is a large naval ship. The problem for the U.K., there are a lot of old shipyards left disused around the country which could be brought back into service if the money is there to reinvest in new infrastructure and train up more skilled jobs to build them. It will be a gradual rise for the Royal Navy instead of a heroic rise to former glory.
Highly questionable. Besides Damen shipyards hardly anything exists anymore. And even Damen does a lot of the building in Rumania. Building the new submarines in France is yet another blow to the Dutch shipbuilding capacity.
It needs more than looks alone… Besides that France has enough capabilities to build amphibious ships. It is interesting to see if France chooses for smaller amphibious ships, like the UK and The Netherlands. My point of view is that diversity would be the best, with only small amphibious ships one loses capability. Big powers seem to stick to bigger amphibious ships and even smaller countries who never used to have them buy them (Egypt, Turkey).
@@marcsetmais7598 Yes of course looks isn't everything, it is just a fantasy haha. I don't think there's a need for that in the French navy, the 3 LHD handle the amphibious needs. However I know that there is an option in the new military procurement law that includes the study of a recreation of an light LST class for the overseas for multipurpose roles. :)

But actually this is not enough after all that Rutte destroyed (which is not just the military but a lot more unfortunatly). It was him who wanted additional cuts after the military was already on its knees. We will have to go to 3-4% to repair the damage done by Rutte and his regime to the military. And even then it will probably take decades. And now the narcissist that destroyed our military (and much more) wants to become NATO secretary general. In 1999 we had 330 main battle tanks, 16 surface combatants and 183 fighter jets. Just to name the 3 primary weapon systems. This is where we should go to again as a minimum.

Probably not because our corrupt prime minister forced to choose the French subs (similar to the ones Australia backed out from because to many problems, which are not Tomahawk capable), just to get Macron's support to become next NATO secretary general. The person who destroyed the Dutch military by huge cuts, never met the 2% norm and never served in the military to get NATO SG would be a total disgrace. Apart from that he is known for lots of scandals and lies. Only someone from a NATO country that abides to the 2% norm and article 3 should be able to become SG of NATO.

Can there still be made a difference between ''underwater-priority'' and ''air defence priority'' ? Every time, our Navies (the German Navy as well is cooperating with the Netherlands) make this difference, I ask myself: Can our vessels make a choice out at sea, as if they were sitting at a green table, smoking cigars and deciding: ''This is not our enemy, because he is attacking underwater....''? Of course I exaggerated this example, but the drones will be everywhere in the future - so every Frigate or Corvette, the Tank-Vessel shown here... They ALL must be capable for air defense AND for torpedo-/submarine-defense... Asked the other way round: How ''differently specialized'' ships still can be in the close future ?

Originally the future air defender was a joint Dutch-German program, but it was cancelled (or rather halted) due to multiple differences. From what I read on wikipedia they are still investigating if they can come to a new agreement with Germany or potentially other European countries to participate in developing these ships.
We simply have not the capacity to build all of these ships in the Netherlands. But some do and some are built abroad by Dutch naval shipyard DAMEN, in Romania.

Once Ukraine gets word the ruSSian ships are approaching international waters, Ukraine launches a bunch of manned rubber boats (to lower radar footprint) with several of those wonderfully effective Ukrainian sea drones in various strategic places to discreetly sit and wait. When the ruSSian ships are in range, the rubber boats launch the swarms of sea drones and...

It is a disgrace that the Dutch Navy doesn't have at least 2 (preferably 4) Hospital ships that can be deployed anywhere in the World when there are disasters or wars.
Bruh we barely have 4 seperately functioning hospitals in our country, there’s been so many budget cuts to both the healthcare sector and our defence budget that what you’re asking isn’t feasible or realistic at all at this time maybe after this fleet replacement ( but probably not we are much too small a country)
Well, I’ve got news for you: the Dutch navy already has three ships with a very serious hospital function on board: the Karel Doorman, Rotterdam and Johan de Wit. They can be deployed to give aid anywhere in the world. No navy has ships anymore that are only hospital ships, that’s not serious in this modern times. The hospital capacity is more than enough for a navy the size of the Dutch navy. There are other priorities.
Haha. We Dutch people like to plan thinks. The problem is our politics. Every 4 year the change there view of points and cut some things lose. So.. lets wait 15 years and review his words, because i think the half would be cut.
Got plenty of money to build houses. But no land, environmental permits are a nightmare, and to top it all off we chased off all potential investors with crazy new regulations around building code and the house letting business.
There'd be very little housing at all if we didn't have some defense capability, even an LBO'er like you should be able to grasp that simple fact. Stick to gaming.
The French submarines was chosen for a single reason: our corrupt prime minister (our worst prime minister ever, which is why the Dutch dislike him, life only got worse because of him) pressured for the French subs to get support from Macron for him to become NATO secretary general. He wants to get this post but in fact destroyed the Dutch military with huge cuts and never did abide to the NATO 2% norm. He never served in the military. It would be a shame if he gets this post. The LPD's are not that old at all and are still capable enough to be replaced. They can transport LCU's and smaller landingcraft. You can move them further out to conduct landing operations. They are also capable to transport army equipment like Leopard 2 A6, CV9035 and Pzh2000 and bring them to shore with LCU's. This gives the marines support with real firepower.
We have nice boat, but i would not call it a fleet. The clowns dont even have an amphibious warship. Just a few crazy good frigates and leaky submarines.

It needs more than looks alone… Besides that France has enough capabilities to build amphibious ships.
It is interesting to see if France chooses for smaller amphibious ships, like the UK and The Netherlands. My point of view is that diversity would be the best, with only small amphibious ships one loses capability. Big powers seem to stick to bigger amphibious ships and even smaller countries who never used to have them buy them (Egypt, Turkey).
@@marcsetmais7598 Yes of course looks isn't everything, it is just a fantasy haha. I don't think there's a need for that in the French navy, the 3 LHD handle the amphibious needs.
However I know that there is an option in the new military procurement law that includes the study of a recreation of an light LST class for the overseas for multipurpose roles. :)
Royal Dutch Navy , one off the best little country but great and big navy.⚓
Proud to be 🇳🇱!
Now that our government has finally woken up from its decades long lethargic attitude toward keeping our armed forces in shape, hence now rapidly increasing the desperately needed defence budget. Seems to me that in regard to our navy, it looks as if this budget will be very well spent!
Thanks to our NATO allies too, in this case special thanks to our Belgian friends!
Let's see what Greet W. has in store for us in the comming years eh? I for one am not to sure this parlement will go forward with any urgency (wich they really should). Our subs are done. Here's to hope 'in bange dagen' houzee!
De Fransen gaan de onderzeeboten bouwen. Ik vermoed dat dat een weggevertje was zodat Rutte baas van de navo kan worden.
@@schepvogelk5971 Liever een bedrijf dat weet hoe ze een romp moeten bouwen voor een onderzeeër, dan een Nederlands bedrijf dat daar geen kennis meer over in huis heeft. Daarbij zullen er een hele hoop NL bedrijven meewerken aan de instrumenten in deze onderzeeërs. Damen gaat volgens mij ook die 4 fregatten bouwen.
@@JorgenKremer De Marine had duidelijk voorkeur voor de Damen-Saab samenwerking. Saab heeft Zweedse onderzeeboten gebouwd. En als ze er ergens verstand van hebben wat de goede keuze is dan is dat bij de Marine zelf.
De narcist Rutte heeft een beslissing doorgeduwd waar alleen hij beter van wordt en het land slechter. Iets waar zijn hele carrière en beleid op gebaseerd is als vijand van het NL volk.
De ervaringen die Australië heeft met dat Franse bedrijf zijn zo slecht dat ze zich terugtrokken omdat de Fransen zich niet aan afspraken hielden: het wordt de varende Fyra.
Koop ze dan liever van de plank bij een andere NAVO partner.
@@michielotsen6317 The new government has agreed to put the NATO 2% norm in the law. This means we as a nation have to abide to the 2% NATO agreement. But actually this is not enough after all that Rutte destroyed (which is not just the military but a lot more unfortunatly). It was him who wanted additional cuts after the military was already on its knees. We will have to go to 3-4% to repair the damage done by Rutte and his regime to the military. And even then it will probably take decades. And now the narcissist that destroyed our military (and much more) wants to become NATO secretary general.
In 1999 we had 330 main battle tanks, 16 surface combatants and 183 fighter jets. Just to name the 3 primary weapon systems. This is where we should go to again as a minimum.
Since 1996 the dutch Commandant Zeestrijdkrachten ( First Sealord ) is also Admiral of the Benelux Navy, as well in peace times as in war times. The belgium Operationeel Commandant is the substitute Admiral of the Benelux Navy ( Luxemburg is without a Navy )
Widening subject of working together for dutch armed forces : the dutch and belgium airforces protect 24/7 in alternating turn ( one month each ) , the airspace of all 3 Benelux countries scrambling the modern F35 lightning II fighters.
Within GNC ( german netherlands corps ) the airborne troops are integrated within German fast response parabrigade DSK ; both dutch armoured brigades integrated within 1. Panzerdivision and the dutch 13th light brigades integrated in the 10.Panzerdivision.
I think the US did not like the idea of integrating the tomahawk launch system in the French built subs. So how are they gonna solve that?
The Dutch can procure cruise missiles from MBDA if the USA refuse to sell them Tomahawk
@@NavalNews That would be a option. It would make the EU less dependent on the US.
@@NavalNews That's true but our navy called it crap basically 😂 so 2 options left. We continue with these subs with cruise missiles or we cancelled the frence subs
They don't like it i think. We changed from German to Dutch subs and now frence during the procurement phase.

Worth keeping an eye on.
I'd like to know more about this "High Energy Laser" on the ASW Frigates. Did not know one existed that is in production. The US has a couple I think but not sure if they perform well.
I guess if the concept didn’t work previously, some company in the Netherlands improved it and made it viable
They're not yet being installed, the space is reserved in case they do become viable but until then the space is used for a regular ciws gun
nice don't mess with Dutchies
1 problem with the Tomahawk USA don't want its systeem on a French submarine
I'm a bit disappointed that the whole fleet is not built in the Netherlands, but in Romania and Belgium as well.😏

Nice video, but djeez, why do these ppt slides always look crappy. As a Dutch military representative I would expect that he has some support from a communications department for this.
instead of 8 auxiliary vessels the RNLN could do with 2 Flarna class 46,823 ton (54,320 ton loaded) stealth (CATOBAR) aircraft carrier powered by MFT-40B® iFuelCell3™ M-FEP system . . . unit cost €4.30 Bn - €5.83 Bn (approx) subject to vary . . . through private sector equity disinvestment solutions & venture capital the RNLN can operate 2 carrier strike groups . . . without having to blow the defense budget . . . note the RNLN did operate carrier strike groups in the past during & post ww2 . . .
The amphib ships if flattops are chosen they will double as dronecarriers.
where a the 4 aircraft carriers ?
Are the Dutch submarines torpedo tubes tomahawk compatible?
Not anymore probably
Probably not because our corrupt prime minister forced to choose the French subs (similar to the ones Australia backed out from because to many problems, which are not Tomahawk capable), just to get Macron's support to become next NATO secretary general. The person who destroyed the Dutch military by huge cuts, never met the 2% norm and never served in the military to get NATO SG would be a total disgrace. Apart from that he is known for lots of scandals and lies.
Only someone from a NATO country that abides to the 2% norm and article 3 should be able to become SG of NATO.
@@jouniairplanevideos yes they are, the new ones will be again tomahawk compatible.
@@Jan54321Only when the USA says yes, otherwise we are stuck at terrible french missles
common size torpedo tube 533 mm in all western sub's
Question: If the Netherlands Navy are opting for 6 Multipurpose LHD vessels, does that mean an increase or reorganisation of the Naval Aviation Branch???
This looks great, but I was thinking there would be some plans for unmanned small drone vehicles like Ukraine is using or slightly larger.
Very good policy safer for everyone in the future generations stronger protecting people in NATO forces and country's customs duty of care for everyone safety reasons 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Ja geef ze de pincode er ook direct maar bij dan...

The Dutch have a long and illustrious naval history.....................I wish my German was as fluent as this officer's English. Extraordinary.
Les Griffiths
The Dutch don't speak German, but...Dutch
how is that the netherlands have the same amount of frigates and so on then belg? like how
difference is that the Belgian ships are mostly old Dutch ships, and the Dutch ships are new.
Can there still be made a difference between ''underwater-priority'' and ''air defence priority'' ?
Every time, our Navies (the German Navy as well is cooperating with the Netherlands) make this difference, I ask myself:
Can our vessels make a choice out at sea, as if they were sitting at a green table, smoking cigars and deciding: ''This is not our enemy, because he is attacking underwater....''? Of course I exaggerated this example, but the drones will be everywhere in the future - so every Frigate or Corvette, the Tank-Vessel shown here... They ALL must be capable for air defense AND for torpedo-/submarine-defense... Asked the other way round: How ''differently specialized'' ships still can be in the close future ?

P.S 04:07 • Role of Germany?
We Dutchies are still pretty rich.. and we are efficient. It will be done!
War on the continent creates a reason to buff up the military, especially because Trump showed we cannot rely on the US. Military spending has doubled since 2015 and should go up with another couple billion a year to meet the 2% norm.
This is more of a 'Sorry NATO that we've been lagging behind for decades on the 2% norm' from the Dutch government if anything.
@@MChagall That goes both ways, seeing how our lackluster spending and selling off equipment in peace time doesn't exactly make us a reliable partner either.
Originally the future air defender was a joint Dutch-German program, but it was cancelled (or rather halted) due to multiple differences. From what I read on wikipedia they are still investigating if they can come to a new agreement with Germany or potentially other European countries to participate in developing these ships.

Once Ukraine gets word the ruSSian ships are approaching international waters, Ukraine launches a bunch of manned rubber boats (to lower radar footprint) with several of those wonderfully effective Ukrainian sea drones in various strategic places to discreetly sit and wait. When the ruSSian ships are in range, the rubber boats launch the swarms of sea drones and...

Those Russian ships are no threat to Ukraine for as long as Turkey keeps the Bosporus closed to warships. Ukraine has been careful about attacking targets that do not pose a threat or whose destruction does not offer a tactical advantage, and for good reason.

It is a disgrace that the Dutch Navy doesn't have at least 2 (preferably 4) Hospital ships that can be deployed anywhere in the World when there are disasters or wars.
Bruh we barely have 4 seperately functioning hospitals in our country, there’s been so many budget cuts to both the healthcare sector and our defence budget that what you’re asking isn’t feasible or realistic at all at this time maybe after this fleet replacement ( but probably not we are much too small a country)
Well, I’ve got news for you: the Dutch navy already has three ships with a very serious hospital function on board: the Karel Doorman, Rotterdam and Johan de Wit. They can be deployed to give aid anywhere in the world.
No navy has ships anymore that are only hospital ships, that’s not serious in this modern times.
The hospital capacity is more than enough for a navy the size of the Dutch navy. There are other priorities.
Haha. We Dutch people like to plan thinks. The problem is our politics. Every 4 year the change there view of points and cut some things lose. So.. lets wait 15 years and review his words, because i think the half would be cut.

There'd be very little housing at all if we didn't have some defense capability, even an LBO'er like you should be able to grasp that simple fact.

The French submarines was chosen for a single reason: our corrupt prime minister (our worst prime minister ever, which is why the Dutch dislike him, life only got worse because of him) pressured for the French subs to get support from Macron for him to become NATO secretary general. He wants to get this post but in fact destroyed the Dutch military with huge cuts and never did abide to the NATO 2% norm. He never served in the military. It would be a shame if he gets this post.
The LPD's are not that old at all and are still capable enough to be replaced. They can transport LCU's and smaller landingcraft. You can move them further out to conduct landing operations. They are also capable to transport army equipment like Leopard 2 A6, CV9035 and Pzh2000 and bring them to shore with LCU's. This gives the marines support with real firepower.
We have nice boat, but i would not call it a fleet. The clowns dont even have an amphibious warship. Just a few crazy good frigates and leaky submarines.
