HNLMS Bruinvis (S 810):

Bruinvis was laid down on 14 April 1988 at the Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij ("Rotterdam Dry Dock Company") yard in Rotterdam. The christening and launching took place four years later on 25 April 1992 by the wife of the Secretary of State for Defense at the time, Mrs. J.M. baroness van Voorst tot Voorst - Bloys van Treslong. Bruinvis - like sister ship Dolfijn - was built in the Scheepsbouwloods, transported to the ship lift and launched via the boat lift. On 5 July 1994 the ship was transferred to the Royal Netherlands Navy and put into service.

Bruinvis took part in Operation Ocean Shield alongside HNLMS Rotterdam in 2011 and 2012.

In May 2014 Bruinvis took part in the NATO exercise Dynamic Monarch.

In 2016 Bruinvis docked in Gibraltar as part of a mission, it also marked the first docking of a Dutch submarine to Gibraltar in over a decade.

In 2018 Bruinvis was in maintenance all year.
