Military craft
Aruba CH
The Aruba heavy cruiser is a major modification to the old RDC Jan van Toch.
As the Jan van Toch class didn't quite meet the RDC requirements most of them
have been sold to the VRC when the RDC replaced them with van Amstel CAs.
The VRC does not require pitched battles, so some armour was removed to make
place for some more offensive weaponry. It has not much in the way of close
defences as it is always supposed to operate in combination with the Bonaire
light cruiser in support.

Saba FF
The Saba frigates are modified versions of the RDC's Schelde frigates.
As the VRC does not like the concept of the throw-away ship represented by
the RDC's Type 23 corvette class, it opted for adapting the sturdier
Schelde frigates for a multitude of roles.
