HNLMS Den Helder, the Dutch navy’s brand new replenishment ship, arrived in NYC Friday and stayed through the weekend tied up at the south side of North River Pier 88. Den Helder was commissioned in October and is designed to sustain a task force of six vessels at sea with fuel, water, aviation fuel, ammunition and other goods. She also has a hospital on board and is lightly armed with a 76mm gun, SAMs, and machine guns. Prior to visiting NYC, Den Helder was in Norfolk, VA. Moran tractor tug William E. Moran was standing by Monday morning to assist with departure.
