Hi guys, just cycled to the coast guard station at crosby and saw a warship heading into port. Over heard someone say it was a dutch frigate. Behind it was anothership which looked like an RFA ship altho i assume that's dutch to. On the back was a helicopter. Couldnt tell for sure but looked like a dauphine. If it docks in the cruise termin might be good to see :)l i.d would be appreciated on the heli if anyone does see it  King regards AC |

Smaller one is HNLMS Groningen Saw it arrive from Everton Brow - they had dragged another chopper on deck by then - apparently both are Cougars Apols for poor quality pic, was just a quick dash there on a very murky day (no doubt better to follow from others at the Pier Head)...  I have heard (not confirmed) that they are here til Monday, but not open to public. Both at CLT. Dave |

When i looked at the excelent photos of H.M. Johan de Witt, i got curious about the large box area, accorging to this article the ship can carry Armoured Vehicles and Helicopters. www.naval-technology.com/projects/rotterdam/ |
