		The first reformation and major expansion of the Navy Royal, as it was then known, occurred in the 16th Century during the reign of Henry VIII whose ships, Henri Grâce a Dieu ("Great Harry") and Mary Rose, engaged the French navy in the battle of the Solent in 1545.
		In that time, the Royal Navy suffered only one major defeat - the battle of the Chesapeake against France in 1781 - and was able to defeat all challengers, as at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 where a combined Spanish and French fleet was decisively beaten (despite the British fleet being outnumbered).
		In addition, the Royal Navy was involved in enforcing the ban on the slave trade and the suppression of piracy.

	Ships of the Royal Netherlands Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the Coast Guard is not officially part of the Navy, it is under its operational control.
		In Dutch, ships are given the prefix "Harer Majesteits" ("her majesty's", abbreviated as "Hr.Ms.") or "Zijner Majesteits" ("his majesty's", abbreviated "Zr.Ms.").
		In English, the Dutch prefix is translated as "HNLMS" for "Her/His Netherland Majesty's Ship".

		In that time, the Royal Navy suffered only one major defeatâ€”the battle of the Chesapeake against France in 1781â€”and was able to defeat all challengers, as at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 where a combined French and Spanish fleet was decisively beaten by a smaller but more experienced British fleet under a brilliant commander.
		The Royal Navy was also vital in guarding the sea lanes that enabled British forces to fight in remote parts of the world such as North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Far East.
		The Royal Navy is established under the royal prerogative, and the head of the Royal Navy, known as the Lord High Admiral, is the Queen (who is overall head of the UK Armed Forces).

	GREENPEACE SHIPS
		In early May of 1981, the ship was dry-docked in Scheveningen, where a handful of volunteers cleaned the hull, and gave it a thorough checking over to give it a clean bill of health.
		The ship's colour scheme was soon changed to a green hull and rainbow colours and a white dove of peace with an olive branch was painted on the bow.
		In 1986, to prepare the ship for a long campaign in the Mediterranean, the midships food stores were changed into a chill room, a satellite communications system was purchased and the small mess room was converted into a campaign off ice with a computer.

		The Navy would like to end its dependency upon secondhand ships but it is content for the moment to plan major upgrades for its existing surface fleet.
		With the modern Hydra-class, these ships are the backbone of the surface fleet and are to be supplemented by three more former Royal Netherlands Navy ships by 2004, beginning with the commissioning of HS Kanaris (formerly Jan van Brakel) in November 2003 and the replenishment ship Prometheus, built to the Italian Etna design by Elefsis.
		While the Vale was undergoing a refit late last year prior to the transfer, officers from the Latvian Navy joined the Vale's sister ship Vidar during her participation in Exercise Flotex to learn as much as possible about the operation of this class of ships.

		This is a particularly demanding operating environment for any acoustic system as the towfish will be almost horizontal to the ship where the USBL will be required to operate through the noise and turbulence generated by the ship’s propellers and wake.
		The two new ships are currently under construction at the Royal Schelde ShipYard in the Netherlands.
		As the Netherlands authority for inland waterways, the Rijkswaterstaat has been using a Sonardyne USBL system successfully for 6 years for towfish tracking during hydrographic surveys of the country’s rivers and waterways.

		The electromagnetic environment on board the Royal Netherlands Navy ships (due to the outside threat), is highly dependent upon the policy of the RNLN to build their own ships.
		The policy during the design of a ship is that the field strength inside the ship has to be as low as possible.

		But it is in the field of public opinion that ships like Puncher have such a vital part to play - and recruitment from a University RN Unit is not the main aim, as the focus of attention is to impress upon future leaders and opinion-formers the presence and capabilities of the Navy.

		The start of the world war in May 1940 caught the Dutch navy in the middle of reconstruction, as many modern ships were at the dockyard.
		However, with the old ships in service, augmented by ships completed in the UK and ships taken over from the Royal Navy, the RNN played an important role in the early war years, when every man and ship available was most important to help turn the tide.
		After March 1942, the Navy was able to take over several larger ships to augment her potential, but the numbers never replaced the war losses.

	Sea Power: Hellenic Navy moves ahead with upgrades to combat fleet
		With priority given to the Katsonis submarines, the Hellenic Navy has been short of funds to replace its eight Netherlands-built Kortenaer-class frigates (including the new-build Elliclass and the last of class, ex-Jan van Brake.
		However, the Greek government now has agreed to a mid-life upgrade for these vessels, especially the two oldest ships-the Elli and the Limnos-with the emphasis upon improved command and control capabilities rather than weapon systems.
		The Thales-built Triton C surface search radar on four ships of the Laskosclass will be replaced by the Thales Variant and the Thales Vega fire-control system apparently will be augmented with the Thales Li rod Mark 2 electro-optical fire control system (the other ships have Kongsberg PFCS-2 radar/electrooptical systems).
