HNLMS Scheveningen (M841) is the fourth ship in the City / Vlissingen-class mine countermeasures vessels, and second to be built for the Royal Netherlands Navy.

History[edit]

Scheveningen is the result of a joint procurement programme for the replacements of the Tripartite- / Alkmaar-class minehunters for the Belgian- and Dutch navies.[4]

She will be the fourth ship in the class and the second for the Royal Netherlands Navy. Her keel was laid down at Giurgiu shipyard, Giurgiu, Romania on 19 July 2023, and is planned to be commissioned in 2026.[1]
