As the attacks by the US and Israel and Iran's retaliations continue, another country has decided to send a warship to the Eastern Mediterranean.
NETHERLANDS SENDS FRIGATE In a statement from the Dutch Ministry of Defense, it was announced that the government has sent the "Zr.Ms. Evertsen" frigate to be deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean. In a statement made by Defense Minister Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius and Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen in the Parliament, it was noted that this option was considered in connection with the recent developments in the Middle East and Iran's attacks on neighboring countries.
Zr.Ms. Evertsen ON THE WAY The statement noted that the Netherlands received a request on March 3 to send the Zr.Ms. Evertsen to support the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the Eastern Mediterranean. It was stated that both ships had recently been in a preparation exercise in the Baltic Sea, and that the ship is currently on its way to the Eastern Mediterranean.
ACTING AS A COMMAND POST AT SEA Launched in April 2003 and commissioned in July 2005, the "Zr.Ms. Evertsen" serves as a command post at sea with both air defense and command management capabilities.
Zr.Ms. Evertsen Since the attacks by the US and Israel on Iran began on February 28, it was announced that France decided to send the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, and the UK decided to send the air defense destroyer "HMS Dragon" to the Eastern Mediterranean.
