ATC84 saidArticle got the Dutch ship acronym wrong. Should be HNLMS not HNMLS.
Anyway said "destroyer"... which is really an amphibious transport. I guess to journalists any ship that doesn't carry jet fighters is a "destroyer"
From what I see, only the poster above you used "destroyer" as vessel classification. The article simply says (four times) "warship."
