They’re just guarding the National Stockpile Of Wind-Turbine Blades.
That‘s a lot of wind turbine blades there
Why is there a Dutch and British flag on the ship top-left?
Time to reunite scotland with the rest of europe.
The F334 and F931 where also Dutch ships but sold. Nice to see them still in use.
It’s coming Scotland’s coming home!

Karel Doormann class reunion
I hope they said “no homo”
Ah the ol’ Pearl Harbor trick of bunching them together to better protect them.
In case you’re wondering what ships they are:
The two on the front are both Dutch frigates: HNLMS De Ruyter on the left, and HNLMS Van Amstel on the right.
The two on the back are the Portuguese frigate NRP D. Francisco de Almeida on the left and the Belgian frigate Louise-Marie on the right.
The lonely ship on the right side is the German corvette Magdeburg.
Van Amstel, D. Francisco de Almeida and Louise-Marie are all Dutch-made Karel Doorman class-frigates (also known in Portugal as the Bartolomeu Dias class).
That’s some serious firepower in those 5 ships
Nobody builds ships like the Europeans, honestly
I think Scotland will declare independence from Great Britain tomorrow 🤷🏻♂️
