Viesturs (M-05) (ex-HNLMS Scheveningen (A855)) is a former minehunter of the Royal Netherlands Navy that is now in service with the Latvian Navy.[2][3]
History
[edit]Scheveningen is the result of a cooperation between France, Belgium and The Netherlands. It is the sixth ship in the Alkmaar-class minehunters. The commissioning ceremony took place in Alblasserdam on 18 July 1984.[3]
Scheveningen was sold to the Latvian Navy in 2007 together with Alkmaar, Delfzijl, Dordrecht and Harlingen. It was transferred in 2008 and renamed Viesturs.[2][3][4]
