Tālivaldis (M-06) (ex-HNLMS Dordrecht (A852)) is a former minehunter of the Royal Netherlands Navy. Now in service with the Latvian Navy.[2][3]

History

[edit]

Dordrecht is the result of a cooperation between France, Belgium and The Netherlands. She is the third ship in the Alkmaar-class minehunters. The commissioning ceremony took place in Alblasserdam on 16 November 1983.[3]

Dordrecht was sold to the Latvian Navy in 2007 together with Alkmaar, Delfzijl, Harlingen and Scheveningen. She was transferred in 2008 and renamed Tālivaldis.[2][3][4]
