dutch navy?

How come the dutch navy never got implemented into DW? I mean it works close with the UK navy and the subs have been great for playing opfor against american carrier groups. The sub taiwan uses in DW is an old dutch sub but why did they leave out the dutch?

Come on, they couldn't even get the British Navy right, with missing a fair amount of ship and sub classes. What makes you think they'd have been able to add the Dutch in correctly?

When I saw the thread title the first picture that popped into my mind was a Large Wooden shoe with a little square sail on it. :rotfl:

I thought the Dutch had only fishing and merchant ships.

Actually, we've got many floating homes built on concrete floatation chambers. And since concrete is very good material for compression, you might just have found a new marine technology innovation.

You wouldn't hold this for a fishing vessel would you? :hmm:

I can see the humor in your posts offcourse. But dont forget that
it was the dutch that were once a super power at sea at the VOC time.

I must admit that politics have shrunk the dutch navy to a preposterous small size.

Sorry All

I was just trying to add a little humor to the website and had no intention of offending our Dutch members.

I look for humor where I can find it

I even laugh at myself. :rotfl:
