    Note: not sure how real the last quoted picture is as the two subs and the hoisting lines are sharper pictured than the small helicopter parts just above the attachment, also such an mid attachment of two subs is not easy to balance laterally . . :confused:

    Got them there . . :D

    NH90 - - The Netherlands deploys NH90 for the first time (January 23, 2013 - article) - - Here's another link to the same article.​
    Note the anchors and the lack of a tower as main differences in that picture, it's not De Ruyter we see there as first in the background . . :idea:

    [​IMG] NH90 on board De Ruyter - 1 min. 29 sec. - (Dutch video)

    HNLMS De Ruyter (F804) - - (HNLMS = His/Her Netherlands Majesty’s Ship)

    De Ruyter is an De Zeven Provinciën-class frigate.

    I think we see the Friesland without mast in that helicopter picture, she also has a NH90 helicopter aboard . . . :idea:​

    The Friesland is one attractive boat.

    Also, about the ice breaker: I know it's almost certainly paint ... but I kinda feel about rust colored paint the way I would about carpet with scattered 1.5 to 2 long black or brown oval spots as a pattern in some restaurant ... it makes me wonder what they're hoping you don't notice.

    For me the links says: ‘‘ Facebook - Sorry, something went wrong. - We're working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can. ’’

    I googled the no. found in the link ‘‘ 10924884 10153093309323969 1376917746 ’’ and this video came up, is that what you meant . . ? ?



    ‘‘ Alta qualidade e tamanho. ’’ - is Portuguese and means - ‘‘ High quality and size. ’’

    The event and the language and people in the video seems to be Chinese though . . :idea:​

    Yes, thanks Angelique - that's the one.

    It is, I believe, the Bamboo rocket festival in Thailand

    the sheer scale of it - what, 10 metres across? - is extraordinary.

    The FrieslandD is an Holland-class offshore patrol vessel, she has three sisters. One of the beauties of the Friesland photo I think is that she is pictured there without her i-Mast (integrated Mast system). The helicopter picture could show one of Friesland's sisters without the i-Mast as well.
    Friesland's one year older sister, the HollandD, with an i-Mast 400, I believe... - - - - D = Dutch link, the rest is English or Photo.

    Starring "i-Gull" the seagull, which is the mascot of the i-Mast . . :eek:
    P.S. - Dunno what Apple thinks about the use of the "i-Name" by Thales . . . :rolleyes:
