Hr. Ms. Amsterdam is the Royal Netherlands Navy's newest auxiliary ship. It is tasked, along with Hr. Ms. Zuiderkruis (A832) , with the
supply and support of the RNLN in overseas deployments. Amsterdam is the product of a joint Spanish/Netherlands project (SPS Patino being
its Spanish sister ship). It has been reported that the Dutch Government plans to order a second Amsterdam/Patino class AOR to replace Hr. Ms. Zuiderkruis
(A832), which is over 25 years old. The Amsterdam was built to merchant ship standards, but it has been equiped with NBC damage control
