Orka.


This is coolbert:

Holland a world power with naval global reach? Holland? Global reach?

To an extent it is so. 

"We All Live in an Orange Submarine"

A paragraph as extracted from the web site of our good friend the Finnish MILBLOGGER Corporal Frisk and thanks to same with my comment.

From https://corporalfrisk.com | March 19, 2024.

Global reach naval mission the Royal Dutch navy potentially to include the Dutch Caribbean. Mission to be accomplished by submarine!

The Dutch Caribbean the last remnant [?] of what used to be a sea-going world straddling empire. Orange referring to the Dutch Royal family and The Order of Orange.

"One of the key factors influencing the design is the Dutch Caribbean. The Netherlands still includes half a dozen islands in two distinct groups in the Lesser Antilles. These are home to almost 340,000 inhabitants in a part of the world that hold a number of potential flashpoints as well as issues caused by non-state actors. The ability to project power in the defense of these calls for a submarine able to make a cross-Atlantic transit and then operate in a reasonable manner when on station. This is in no way beyond the scope of reality – the Germans and Italians tried this in practice during WWII"

As has been announced the French Shortfin Barracuda to replace the present Walrus class [four boat Dutch naval submarine complement. New boats to be deemed the Orka class.

See also the Axis submarine World War Two naval offensive the Caribbean. German and Italian U-boat acting in concert with some success! 

Walrus gone! Barracuda on the way!

Nederland regeert de reddingen!
