From the publisher: HNLMS Zuiderkruis (1975-2012) was the second Fast Combat Support Ship of the Royal Netherlands Navy. Primarily intended for replenishment at sea (RAS=UNREP operations) fueling NI Task Group and NATO units. As a modern design, Zuiderkruis enabled a “one-stop replenishment” and also carried AVCAT, fresh water, and stores/spare parts. A helicopter deck facilitated VERTREP.
FSM says: Maritime details abound with scores of onboard photos during various operations, as well as explanatory black-and-white and color illustrations. If you need to know what the ship’s replenishment and cargo-handling equipment looks like, or just the shape of its rail and stanchions, this book’s for you.
