Groningen — Netherlands · Tier IX · Destroyer

The second Friesland-class destroyer was laid down at the Amsterdam shipyard in February 1952 and launched in 1954. Like any other Dutch ship of the postwar period, Groningen had a peaceful career. In July 1977, the destroyer arrived in Leningrad on an official visit as part of a ship group. On January 20, 1981, Groningen was sold to the Peruvian Navy and renamed Gálvez.
