HNLMS Amsterdam (A836) was the last replenishment ship serving with the Royal Netherlands Navy. Amsterdam entered service in 1995.
HNLMS Amsterdam deployed to the Middle East as part of Operation Enduring Freedom during 2005/2006 and provided assistance to two American naval vessels after a battle they had fought with pirates on March 18, 2006.
Amsterdam was assigned in December 2010 to the coast of Côte d'Ivoire in order to assist in a possible evacuation of European Union citizens from the country in the wake of unrest after the 2010 presidential election.[2]
Amsterdam was decommissioned on 4 December 2014 and is transferred to the Peruvian Navy under her new name as BAP Tacna (ARL-158). The RNLN will not have an operational tanker until the new Joint Logistic Support Ship Karel Doorman is scheduled to be commissioned somewhere in 2015.
