Tromp: Dutch frigate Libyan evacuation backup



HNLMS Tromp (F803), De Zeven Provinciën class frigate [very similar to the German Sachsen class], The air defence and command vessel, which left the Dutch navy base at Den Helder just two weeks ago - will now leave the Red Sea and pass through the Suez Canal once again over the next few days as it heads north. Should an air evacuation prove impossible or Libyan air space is closed again at some point in the near future, the HNLMS Tromp will be available to carry out an evacuation by sea.
