HNLMS Soemba is a diving support and training vessel in service with the Dutch Navy. The vessel was constructed by Vervaco, Heusden for the Dutch Army as a training vessel for their divers. The current Soemba is the second vessel in the Dutch Navy with this name, following HNLMS Soemba which was scrapped on 12 July 1985.
Construction and career
Soemba was originally built for the Dutch Army as a training vessel but was trasfered to the Dutch Navy in 2009 when their diving schools merged.[2]
Soemba is set to be replaced along side the Mercuur, Pelikaan, Snellius class, Cerberus class and the Van Kinsbergen by a common family of ships. The builder of the new ships will be selected in 2024.[3][4][5]
