HNLMS Evertsen (F805) a Dutch De Zeven Provinciën-class frigate conducts a high speed turn while operating in the Gulf of Aden.

Powered by two Wärtsilä 16 V26 diesel engines, and a pair of 18.5 MWRolls Royce Spey SM 1C gas turbines, and two propeller shafts, this ship is capable of reaching speeds of 30 knots while providing fleet air defense and command capabilities.
