Hoi,

Zou leuk zijn als een vd Japanse fregatten een SH60 Seahawk aan boord heeft zoals de vorige keer in Amsterdam.Toen was het mogelijk om de fregatten te bezoeken en de Seahawk op de foto te zetten.Jammer dat de kade daar nu niet meer zo open is als een paar jaar geleden:-(

Any warship conducting a portvisit, normally will have an "open house" during the weekend. Most likely hours in local time will be between 13:00 and 16:00 hours.
But be aware, as you might already know, that since 9/11/2001 a lot has changed. No bagpacks aso are allowed o/b and there is a firm restriction on photography.
Anyhow, good luck and goor hunting.

I dont know whats going on but it looks like things changed again.
today only the FGS Bremen will Arrive.

The others are on the planning for 1 Feb.
