The ship was in service with the Royal Netherlands Navy from 1956 to 1979. Friesland) was a destroyer of the Friesland class. Overall Friesland and her sister ship Groningen are great ships, capable of locking down large areas with their immense firepower and long lasting smoke. She can lay down smoke for her allies, letting them fire from relative safety while she spots enemy ships, screens for torpedoes, and even provide effective anti-air support. Though a solid ship by herself, Friesland can also function as a excellent support vessel. The few exceptions including French destroyers, Russian destroyers, and Smaland Her mediocre concealment means she can struggle to force engagements against stealthier destroyers, though she comfortably outguns the vast majority of them. She is relatively easy to hit and will take significant damage if the player is not careful. The threat of radar can force Friesland out of her smoke, making her more vulnerable due to her slow speed and sluggish handling. Her biggest worry are radar cruisers, especially the long range 12km radars mounted on Russian cruisers. Make sure someone else is providing constant spotting before you smoke up and farm smoking up only to lose vision on your target can lead to awkward moments of silence. Close enough where she can easily land shells, but not so close where they can rush her and exploit her lack of torpedoes. Due to her slow shells, Friesland ideally wants to position 8km to 10km away from enemy cruisers and battleships. Access to Defensive AA Fire also heavily discourages all but the most determined carriers from striking her. Her powerful Hydroacoustic Search both protects her from torpedo attacks while discouraging most ships from getting close. With her US style Smoke Generator, she can farm enemy ships for long periods of time from the safety of her smoke.

She has a quick reload time and a variety of consumables at her disposal. She is equipped with only two dual mount gun turrets.
