The Beemster-class was a class of fourteen minesweepers that were built at different shipyards in the United States for the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN).[3] The minesweepers were based on the AMS-60 design and paid for by the United States under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program (MDAP).[4] The minesweepers served in the RNN between 1953 and 1976.[5][6]

Design and construction

The fourteen Beemster-class minesweepers were ordered in 1951 in the United States.[7] They were based on the AMS-60 design.[4] The first ships were taken into service of the Royal Netherlands Navy in 1953 and the last in 1954.[5]

As built the ships were equipped with a W Mk 3 mod 1 mechanical sweep and either a A X Mk 6B or A X Mk 4V acoustic sweeper.[2] Furthermore, it had a double machine gun of 20 mm.[1] Later, in the 1960s and 1970s, the ships got equipped with a MB 5 magnetic sweeper.[2]

Ships in class

The ships were named after the smaller Dutch municipalities that started with the letter B.[2]
