List of active Royal Netherlands Navy ships

HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën (F802)

This is a list of active ships currently in service with the Royal Netherlands Navy.

Royal Netherlands Navy ship prefix

In Dutch, ships are given the prefix "Hare Majesteits" ("her majesty's", abbreviated as "Hr.Ms.") or "Zijner Majesteits" ("his majesty's", abbreviated "Zr.Ms."). In English, the Dutch prefix is translated as "HNLMS" for "Her/His Netherland Majesty's Ship". Some authors translate Hr./Zr.Ms. as "HNMS" but that abbreviation is ambiguous: the "N" might stand for "Netherlands" or "Norway". The most common way to avoid this ambiguity is to use "HNLMS" and "HNoMS" respectively.
