HNLMS De Ruyter (F804)

HNLMS De Ruyter (Dutch Zr. Ms. De Ruyter) is the third De Zeven Provinciën-class frigate frigate of the Royal Netherlands Navy. She was laid down in 2000, launched in 2002, and commissioned in 2004. The frigate is named after the famous Dutch admiral Michiel de Ruyter (1607–1676). The frigate should not be mistaken with the former Hr. Ms. De Ruyter (F806), which was a Tromp-class frigate built in the 1970s, nor the current BAP Almirante Grau, a Peruvian gun cruiser that was known as De Ruyter while in Dutch service.
