Dutch frigate to join British Carrier Strike Group
1617103796876.png

The Dutch Ministry of Defence have confirmed that HNLMS Evertsen will be joining the upcoming UK Carrier Strike Group deployment to the Asia-Pacific.

“HNLMS Evertsen is in dry dock for maintenance before the ship departs with the # UKCarrierStrikeGroup21. With this international fleet association, the Evertsen will soon be heading towards Asia.”

The ship also tweeted confirmation.


Earlier in the year there was some confusion over this as the UK Ministry of Defence had removed mention of the Dutch vessel joining the group from an article that had been published discussing the deployment.

The post written by the Ministry of Defence detailing the upcoming deployment of HMS Queen Elizabeth and her strike group mentioned a Dutch warship, that mention has now been removed.

Two sections of the post, titled ‘UK Carrier Strike Group Explained’, were removed.

The first stated:

“The group includes NATO’s most sophisticated destroyers coming together from the Royal Navy, the US Navy and the Dutch Navy.”

The second stated:

“The group includes NATO’s most sophisticated destroyers — the Royal Navy’s Type 45s HMS Diamond and HMS Defender and US Navy Arleigh Burke-class USS The Sullivans as well as frigates HMS Northumberland and HMS Kent from the UK and the Dutch Navy’s HNLMS Evertsen.”

The post now reads:

“The Carrier Strike Group will be complemented by US Marine Corps and US Navy personnel and equipment. This includes a detachment of US Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II aircraft and the US Navy’s destroyer, USS The Sullivans.”

There is now no mention of a Dutch vessel and oddly, the graphic featured in the original post has now been removed. The graphic is displayed below and appeared originally to detail how the Carrier Strike Group would operate.

Could it have been removed as it showed the Dutch vessel?

HNLMS Evertsen was present last year as the Carrier Strike Group worked up, traininmg to work alongside British and American vessels.

I don't understand what all this strike groups serve? It is honestly pointless and serve no purpose.. The US needs to deploy at atleast 200k forces to Taiwan and another 200k to South Korea with multiple nuclear warheads pointed at China from these 2 locations this will guaraantee that China won't miscalculate. This will checkmate China for good and atleast keep them quite for 3-4 decades

Also US needs to deploy serious nuke missile capability to mainland Japan

I doubt even the US would risk that, deploying troops to Taiwan (let alone nukes) means automatic declaration of war to PRC...

The Us won't give Nukes to another country but could deploy it themselves with their troops. But the most important areas is SK and Taiwan. Japan can defend itself. The fortifications purpose is to keep China inside and this will guaraantee that they stay inside China until they find ways around it and that could take some decades
I doubt even the US would risk that, deploying troops to Taiwan (let alone nukes) means automatic declaration of war to PRC...

It is not declaration of war. Taiwan-US relation is not a secret. They have defense treaty and the truth is that the US can't defend Taiwan in any other way except putting Taiwan under Nuclear umbrella. This will checkmate China

If the stupid western think of war with china.
the whole world pay the price and you see the human selling thier children and oregan to live for a day.
When you fire all your weapon what is left rotten bodies and shredded children's.
Nothing left in the world to cheer about.
Greatest threat to human is america and american thinking.
They won't let the ww3 begin untill they settled on moon base camp or mars.

There is honestly no place for the CCP in the world order. It is like a complete alien in the world politics who doesn't not understand basic world norms. As I said they are complete aliens in every way of sense... they are recipe for disaster waiting to happen. The world doesn't want totalitarianism. The CCP will bring back mischief

It's the american with thier democracy shit that burned the whole world.
In the name OF freedom mantra that is the mantra is SATAN.
World live without democracy for thousands of years.

It is a war declaration unfortunately... when the US switched recognition from the ROC (Taiwan) to PRC in 1979, part of the agreement was to remove all US troops and facilities stationed in Taiwan... The US agreed at the time because they were eager to get the PRC on their side in their Cold war against the USSR and thought that PRC won't be able to cross the strait anyway, especially when protected by the USN 7th Fleet.

In addition to the above, even with a defense treaty (sort of) ,the US still publicly adheres to the One China Policy, which means stationing US troops in Taiwan will constitute an armed occupation of parts of the PRC which gives casus belli to PRC to declare war... There's no way the PRC can just stand down from such an affront, the CCP will simply lose too much legitimacy within the population..

So you want Pakistan to no longer to be a Democracy, you want to be told what to say/act/watch/read, and behave. Got it.
 
Dutch is major naval power. In the past they used to fight the English navy toe to toe.

Americans would get slaughtered in Taiwan if they help Taiwan fight if Taiwan declares secession. American public won't have millions of American service men and women dying in Taiwan for the Chinese.
The world doesn't want totalitarianism.

KSA, Morocco, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain are far more totalitarian than China. US don't care if you are totalitarian or not. If you are friendly with US, you are good to go.
 
So you want Pakistan to no longer to be a Democracy, you want to be told what to say/act/watch/read, and behave. Got it.
Democracy is a perfect dream until you wake up.
USA is a perfect example of this*
lay down the war in name of freedom, replace sodier with mercenaries, lie big and keep lieing , double standard,,highest criminal record,choke the countries with sanctions, atomic bombing in japan, massacre in the Muslim countries, never tried to solve the world problems and only creating more problems for the world to caters than already had.
Salute to democracy of the usa and whoms has faith in it.

Looks like all the courtiers are lining up and have chosen their side.

Does China have any allies? Expect for the bootlickers, lackeys and failed states?

Russia. Iran. For example. Dutch death toll from coronavirus is horrendous. Serves them right. Don't forget Taiwan was Dutch territory. Dutch lost Taiwan to the Chinese.
