HNLMS Zeeland (P841)
HNLMS "Zeeland" is the second ship of the s of the Royal Netherlands Navy. The ship was originally designed to fulfill patrol and intervention tasks against lightly armed opponents, such as pirates and smugglers. However, she also has very advanced electronic and radar surveillance capabilities which are used for military stabilisation and security roles, short of outright war. Without sonar or long range weapons, it utilizes the surveillance capabilities of the Thales integrated mast, which integrates communication systems and two 4-faced phased arrays for air and surface search. "Zeeland" was the second ship of the "Holland -class" offshore patrol vessels to enter service. On 6 February 2014, "Zeeland" rescued seven of the eleven passengers of an overturned boat while it was on its way to the Dutch Caribbean to fulfill patrol duties. Three of the eleven passengers died before "Zeeland" spotted the boat, one of the passengers was missing. "Zeeland" and "Pelikaan" had an important role in the emergency assistance to Sint Maarten, St Eustatius and Saba after hurricane Irma had hit the island in September 2017.
