This is Hnlms Urania
HNLMS Urania (Dutch: Zr.Ms. Urania) is a naval training ship of the Dutch Navy and is used to train future Adelborsten from the Royal Naval College.
History
When the old HNLMS Urania had a hole punched in the hull she needed to be replaced. During this refit it was uncovered that most of the ship was being held together with putty. Olivier F. van Meer was charged with the design of the new ship that had to resemble the old Urania at a distance. The keel was laid in 2003 at De Gier & Bezaan Int. in Enkhuizen and in mid-2003 the hull was moved to Den Helder for fitting out by the navy. Eventually she was launched on 18 May 2004, and commissioned a week later. Some parts of the old Urania were used in the construction of the new one. For example, the old stern was fitted to the new ship but in the end was removed again in favour of a new stern. The only remaining bit from the old Uranina being the wheel.
Recently at sea
Over the past 30 days she spent 1 day at sea, covering about 41 km. Of late she has spent most of her time in Den Helder (Netherlands). Yacht Tracker has been following her position since October 18, 2026.
